Goreology? Is Al Gore becoming a cult?

[RB TexLa]

And no I'm not a Gore basher, I voted for him in both of his last two runs for the White House.

[Catch22Dem]

1. I don't think so, but on this day, he's stealing the show!

Deservedly so!

[Solon]

2. No offense, but I see cultists all over the place...

Hillarists, Obamaists, Edwarism, etc. they are ALL cults of personality, and to be honest, they all scare me, frankly.

[Coventina]

4. LOL! "Edwardism" That's awesome!

pronounced ed-WARD-ism.

I like Hillarists, but I personally would go with Obamalites.

:D

Oh, and if Gore gets in it, followers should be "Gorelocks".

[Cha]

13. I like Obamaians!

And me, I'd go with Gorganics! :P

Headwards!:)

[Coventina]

14. You win! Gorganics rocks!!

:yourock:

on edit: I use "awesome" too much!

[supernova]

3. No, I think he's just the man of the hour though

Good on him.

* may have "won" the election; but Al will win the war.

[Bluebear]

5. Don't you think he deserves a day in the spotlight? His opponent has had 7 years.

Especially since Gore is trying to raise awareness for the planet. I don't regard this as cult-like, just recognition for a well-done and worthy project such as LiveEarth.

[RB TexLa]

7. A day, what are you talking about?

[Bluebear]

9. Well, what are YOU talking about? What is cult-like to you?

You say you're not 'bashing' him yet something is irritating the hell out of you, what is it? :)

[RB TexLa]

10. Just seemed a lot of posts on him all of a sudden

[Solon]

22. Are you that clueless? Just asking. n/t

[RB TexLa]

23. seemed more than normal. Geez, no big deal

[burythehatchet]

24. Dude, he just brought 2 billion people on to the same page

he has shown today, the power of true leadership, the ability to unite different people far a cause. Don't underestimate this moment.

[RB TexLa]

25. guess I must have missed something.

[burythehatchet]

29. have you been watching the concerts today?

[RB TexLa]

31. No, I didn't know about them

[burythehatchet]

36. here's a link to the live stream from each continent

[RB TexLa]

37. I read about it. Don't care for watching a rock show. Thanks anyway

[rucky]

6. He hasn't asked me for a penny.

I haven't had to pledge allegiance or cut ties with outsiders.

so, no.

[eleny]

8. If saving the planet is cultist behavior, I'm in

:hi:

[poverlay]

11. Sooner or later everyone's blood will be sacrificed on this particular altar(The Earth). n/t

[Coventina]

12. What're you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?

:D

I'm not supposed to be here. I need to be writing a paper. Shame on me!

:spank:

on edit: added smiley

[poverlay]

15. You've discovered my melodrama. I'm watching the Live Earth thing and getting all

maudlin.

Our reservation is tomorrow. You should come over and hang out with us.

What's your paper about?

On edit:
I like this smiley the best~ :freak:

[Coventina]

17. The same! More doggies in art.

I'd love to hang out, but, I'm supposed to be writing this paper......

I NEED to be writing this paper. I'm going to sign off RIGHT NOW!!!

[poverlay]

18. K luvya bbye...n/t

[Coventina]

20. Have fun! I want to hear all about it after you get back.

OKAY,I am REALLY signing off now!!!

:hi:

[eleny]

16. Writing papers - Isn't that a cult?

[Coventina]

19. It's very much like a cult. You have to break ties with friends and family,

it can end up sapping all your finances, you suffer sleep-deprivation...so yeah, I guess it is kind of a cult!

[poverlay]

21. Just, please don't drink the kool aid...nt

[WinkyDink]

26. What can we do?! It's Alchemy!

[JMDEM]

27. His appeal is anti-cult

Unlike all cult leaders, he does everything possible NOT to glorify himself, but rather is concerned with the common good of all.

If our Western religions had even the slightest feminine component (such as a reverence for Mother Earth) he could very easily be considered a saint in this regard. Selflessness for the Mother of all things.

[JaneQPublic]

28. The Goracle now has his own "Gore Corps" n/t

[RB TexLa]

30. OK, Sorry. I didn't know about the Live Earth thing

[IChing]

33. YOUR KIDDING RIGHT? 2 BILLION PEOPLE.......

Quit kidding us, you do have the internet and cable don't you?:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

:rofl: :rofl:

[RB TexLa]

34. I have no idea what my wife is watching on the television, and don't really care

If I saw something about it on-line I didn't notice it.

[BlooInBloo]

32. You're confusing Gore with Kucinich - however that's possible.

[Missy Vixen]

35. Sign me up

There's a hell of a lot worse than trying to get people to realize the impact of their actions on the planet.

Rock on, Mr. Gore.

[Swamp Rat]

38. I'm more worried about the Bushler Cult.

:yoiks:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

39. See, there's this thing some people like to call Earth . . .

D'OH!

[Solo_in_MD]

40. What with the use of the future tense?

Amongst some it is well past that, verging on beatification
