Al Gore- Carbon Yeti
Oh I LOVE it! Al Gore uses twelve times the electricity of the average Nashville customer! Oh wait- it is actually 191,000 kw hours versus 15,600 for the average. Oh BOY oh BOY! Good going. Maybe he foresaw this when he was inventing the internet! Look, I don't lecture people on their carbon footprints. Therefore, I am typing this leisurely on my laptop- hell, I even pay my electric bill ONLINE! I support the company 100%. But I cannot stand environmental hypocrites. People who hop in private planes or book all of first class for 4 people or who have more than one house and who....oh well, I think if you give it thought, you can figure it out. But for Mr Environment to have such wasteful habits- and then to justify it by saying he OFFSETS it with his uses of other renewable resources- well, well, well, I sputter. That is just plain damn risible!!!!!!!! This guy is a jackass. He is a "do as I say but not as I do" kind of moralistic dumbbell. Oh sure, he went to Harvard. WOOOOO. And because his dad was in an election, he went to Nam and was a journalist for FIVE MONTHS. And people want to form a grass roots effort to get him to run for President again????? I say, bring it on. What a stupid mistake that would be. He didn't invent environmentalism. I was at the first Earth Day- holding a jar of putrid water from a local waterway. He didn't invent that movement. A generation that he is barely part of did that. So run for office Al Gore- get nominated for a very undeserved socialist prize for your efforts- but not everyone is sucked into your fantasy world where you hold yourself above us. It won't work.
