Draft Gore, 2012.

With the Obama administration, we have arrived at the point of believing in too little, which in politics is more dangerous than believing in too much.

It is crucial that we all work together to make substantial changes in how we live. On all levels and at the same time to help bring up those living in poverty. If we don’t they will be left behind to die. It is good that China is planning on construction of a huge solar generator plant that would put out the same amount of gigawatts as two coal fired plants! We need to to capitalize it and see that profit can come in more than just money. We need to start churning our electic cars and solar panels and film and start covering everything. We need to have started this in the 1970’s and we need to do it now. Not as countries but as a species. Nothing else will do.

We live in a nation where the majority of the population thinks that human activity is not causing global warming. Of course, a majority of americans also believe in angels, and like to watch cars drive in a circle. What does it say about us?

Europe and Japan are moving past us. They are leaving us behind in almost every national endevour. They no longer look to the US for leadership. That chink in our armor that formed nearly 40 years ago has become a large rusty hole. Our old allies are now embarrassed by us. While they all move to make their own nations self-sufficient and enviormentally responsible, we in the good ol USA have chosen to rub shit all over ourselves.

We have become pathetic, and everybody else knows it but us.
