Vice President Gore, THANK YOU...this is what LEADERSHIP...
...looks like: Positive, Forward looking, Unifying, Inspirational to the next generation!


I'm not of that generation, I'm 57...so a little older than you. :) But this is what has been lacking during the current administration in Washington D. C. It has (sadly) stolen the hopes of my (our) generation, and robbed it from our children and grandchildren.

Thank you for Live Earth. I am confident it will begin the process of reunifying the country around a positive goal. Given the depths to which we have fallen, that is no small task.

THANK YOU, most of all, for returning HOPE to our beloved country...and the rest of the world.:patriot:

2. When you fish, do you cast or just drag the lure behind the
boat?

18. This is no doubt my all time favorite
response to one of the above. Perhaps we should adopt this as the standard DU response? It's subtle.

30. This only works for people with some knowledge of fishing.
Remember the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff? "I'm a ****, fol de roll, and I'll eat you for supper." I have used variants on that theme too. I had a 78 rpm record of that story that I wore the grooves off of in '51 or '52, before I could read.

39. I'm very glad to hear that.

I've known for a long time that the forces of darkness (i.e. the Christian fundamentalist cult) would see our true leader as the Antichrist. The fact that you do only confirms my new-found hope.

3. Remember Gore's quick response in Katrina?
He managed to cut through the red tape and deftly orchestrate an airlift of hundreds of hospital patients to receive care at hospitals in Tenn. and elswhere. All while the Bush administration was standing around picking their collective noses.

14. I remember, and that act moved me greatly
at a time when I was overcome with sadness.

THAT was real leadership.

33. Boy, don't you wish you could have a "revote" of 2000 today?...
I think it would be the biggest landslide in U.S. presidential election history!

17. He is a true heroic leader
This is an amazing thing he has instigated - such an incredibly positive and energized event. It is more than I had hoped for - I look forward to watching it bear fruit in the weeks/months/years to come.

Would that he would reconsider and run for president.

22. It accomplishes so much...
...whether he 'runs' or not:

Invigorates the youth, lets them know that they matter.

It unifies a diverse music culture for an important cause...turns their music in a positive direction.

Promotes quality TV (if there is such a thing) on SUNDANCE.

Gives simple ideas for individuals to do to help the environment.

Entertains, and gets the word out.

Unifies us arond something besides fear.

THANK YOU, Mr. Gore.

He would make a great President. Perhaps he alone would have the balls to go after the oil industries.
