[IndyOp]

1. I'm in....! I like the guy on now - Native American principles

of respect and love for earth should guide our behavior as well as scientific knowledge...

:applause:

Scientific knowledge often emphasizes how much we can get away with without harm.
Native American principles emphasize acting in the highest manner.

Mitake Oyasin. (For All My Relations)

[burythehatchet]

2. I just decided to visit this museum on my next DC trip.

:thumbsup: GOD I pray Al announces during this event.

[IndyOp]

10. I don't think he will announce today -- I think he needs us all to be thinking

about what WE are going to do about the climate crisis.

He may allow himself to be swept into office if he sees that he has OVERWHELMING support from the people and Congress. We show support through action.

If I keep doing the RIGHT THING, if we all keep doing the RIGHT THING in terms of changing our own behaviors and speaking out then it may add up and Gore may see that he will be able to accomplish everything we want him to in the Presidency.

Al mentions M. Scott Peck in "Assault on Reason" and in interviews. M. Scott Peck says, "Love is not a feeling, it is an action taken on behalf of your own or someone else's spiritual growth."

Action. Action. Action.

:hi:

[burythehatchet]

14. brilliant points

and I was thinking to myself - THIS is leadership. This is what a person can do for the world. He has united every continent for a day.For all the damage that has been done over the past 6 years, Al Gore has managed to restore some faith in the world's population that what is happening is despite the wishes of the American people, not because we wanted to bring the world on to the edge of destruction. No, that was the desire of a group of powerful and corrupt men who have profited handsomely.

[xxqqqzme]

75. Exactly - the US has been w/o leadership

since 1998 when the rethugs hounding of Clinton reached its zenith. We have been floundering ever since. Gore is the only leader out there on the stage right now. Howard Dean is providing much need leadership of the party. John Edwards is finding his way.

[frogcycle]

15. .

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. I've got audio... but video is screwed

nothing's moving... edit... fixed now. :)

[bananas]

5. not yet. nt

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. bah! I have to leave in 5 minutes...

at least I get to hear the Grandmas. :)

[2Design]

6. al has not been on yet

Since this was put together at the last minute - I am sure they are working out the kinks - right now some indian women are talking - I am amazed looking at the crowd when they pan - for a concert that was only announced last night - there are a lot of people there

[Labors of Hercules]

4. I am so glad they added this venue!!!

Nothing brings home the message more clearly than seeing our Native peoples talk about our Earth! :loveya:

[shadowknows69]

9. This woman speaking now is amazing

[IndyOp]

11. The Australia event started with Aborginal Dancers - beautiful. (n/t)

:hi:

[burythehatchet]

45. IndyOp - I don't know you but I believe

we've undergone a Vulcan mind meld.

:toast:

[IndyOp]

68. Vulcan Mind Meld !!!

:toast:

[Terri S]

7. ahh.... Bless the Grandmothers !!

this is the PERFECT venue!

[IndyOp]

12. Do you know Al Gore's CIA code name?

Bill Clinton was "Eagle"
Jimmy Carter was "Preacher"

Al Gore is "Sundance" -> :-)

This is PERFECT.

Consider the effect of your actions on the next 7 generations... :loveya:

[ThomWV]

13. I Wonder If They Will Display His Comments On Screens Around The World?

At the other showings.

Immagine that, Al Gore, a true world leader.

[frogcycle]

16. i'm crying like a baby

[burythehatchet]

18. me too. I feel very emotional, almost cathartic.

[Terri S]

17. He's ON!!!!

[burythehatchet]

20. Thanks you President Gore!

[Labors of Hercules]

19. He's on the screens in LONDON and HAMBURG as well!!!!!!

[burythehatchet]

21. If you want to go quickly, go alone, if you want to go far, go together

perfect.

[IndyOp]

22. ROCK ON... Sundance!

Thank you for the grace that brings us hear today.

It is appropriate that we begin with Native Americans.

African Proverb:
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
We must go quickly, together.

Al -> :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Tipper is on the scene!

[IChing]

23. Where is his teleprompter?

It must be in his head,

Thank you native Americans for making this happen

great speech

[flyarm]

24. Tipper taking pictures!! on stage!!

[burythehatchet]

27. Mrs. Gore looks absolutely radiant. She must be so proud of her hubby

[frogcycle]

48. and herself!

I heard an interview in which she described the post-SCOTUS-decision period - you know, growing a beard...

she said one day she said to him. Al, why don't you get out your slideshow and start working on it again?"

the rest, as they say, is history



behind every great man...

[burythehatchet]

52. So, So true

Biggest failure of my life was to let two good women get away.

[flyarm]

30. yeah country music is coming out for live earth!!! they have evolved!! eom

[flyarm]

43. may the eagle fly and bring us the president we chose!! we waited ..we will work for him and with

Him..Run Al Run...for my husbands American Indian family.for my American Indian Karuk tribe son.for my husbands mom who passed in January and at her funeral..and eagle flew over her service..it was an omen...and a deer stood tall on the side of the Klamath river..She loved Al Gore..and she feared for what this administration now was doing to her land...and her people...

Please save us and mother earth for our Indian ancestry ..and for the world.

Run Al Run!!

from a Karuk Tribe family member


fly

[AlGore-08.com]

25. This is what LEADERSHIP looks like

[burythehatchet]

28. see post 14 above

[Terri S]

29. AMEN!!! n/t

[IndyOp]

26. 2 billion people we are gathered together...

:cry:

Because of you, Al...

Have you signed the LiveEarth pledge?
http://www.liveearthpledge.org/msn

:yourock:

[burythehatchet]

32. Is this the 21st century Woodstock?

[ThomWV]

34. It is much much more.

By the way, my wife was at Woodstock, I was in Viet Nam at the time.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

31. Sundance Is Delayed Here In California

The only channel showing right now is Sundance, and they have Snow Patrol in London.

Nothing from D.C. And Bravo, which is supposed to be carrying, has infomercials.

It sounds like everyone else has the correct coverage.

[bananas]

38. watching online

http://liveearth.msn.com

[frogcycle]

33. to be superficial for a moment

he has dropped a lot of flab and looks like he's been pumping iron

lookin good

[IndyOp]

37. He has always had a barrel chest, usually hides it beneath a suit...

I like the jeans and t-shirt look on Al...

:)

[burythehatchet]

42. If I was going to be seen by 2 billion people I might skip the 3rd donut as well

[IndyOp]

35. When the skies and oceans are clean again - We Shall Be Free!

Very nice version of the song from Trisha and Garth!!

When we can love anyone we want.

When we can worship all from our different pews.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[mcg]

76. self delete

[IChing]

We shall be free.....I can't hear the words, bad mixer

what is this song about? Free about what?

[AlGore-08.com]

36. Lyrics of "We Shall Be Free"

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free

[IChing]

39. thanks n/t

[IndyOp]

40. Are these the original lyrics? If so, wow! (n/t)

[AlGore-08.com]

46. Yep - - it's one of Garth Brooks' songs from 1992

[MedleyMisty]

41. I'd forgotten about that song

I'd belt it out in elementary school. I believed it with all my little 11 year old heart. I still do. :)

And yes, those are the original lyrics. Country used to be good, you know.

Umm, is it bad that I cried when Gore was on and kept saying, "Please, please."? Sigh.

[IndyOp]

50. It's not bad, I am trying to keep using my feelings to fuel action...

I believe that Al may allow himself to be swept into office if the public is OVERWHELMINGLY behind him -- so he knows that he can be the exceptionally effective President that he can be...

We demonstrate our support by taking action...

Sign the Live Earth Pledge.
Write Congressmembers.
Change our own behavior.

[ThomWV]

44. Consider: We Are Seeing A Real WORLD Leader

Around the world, by force of his own will and nothing else, Al Gore is leading a return to reason in the most important area facing mankind.

A World Leader in every sense of the title.

[frogcycle]

53. and as with all the truly great ones

he would deny it

the words 'I'm the decider' would not ever cross his mind

To the next President of the United States:

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them".

- Wm Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V

You, sir, qualify on all three counts.

[patricia92243]

47. Hopefully, they will rerun them for those of us who missed it. n/t

[AlGore-08.com]

51. Gore will be at NJ later & Variety reported last week that there would be a Live Earth film &...

The MSN Live Earth site will have "clips and highlights" tomorrow:

http://www.liveearth.msn.com/

[Labors of Hercules]

54. How's he getting there?

[Subdivisions]

57. He is taking the Amtrak from DC to NJ. n/t

[IndyOp]

62. Amtrak - Good deal. I was thinking he might go be EV car -

I knew it would be something GREEN... !

:hi:

[AlGore-08.com]

58. Well, he steps into a phone booth and...

;)

[SharonRB]

59. LOL

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

60. Bwah!

[Labors of Hercules]

49. Consider: An audience of 200 in DC has suddenly become 2 BILLION...

How would THAT feel if you are one of the Native American groups scheduled to play the event?? :wow:

[frogcycle]

55. actually, the other venues have their own shows on

but I bet a lot of the world is streaming this one

[Labors of Hercules]

65. I just think it's mindblowing...

To plan a relatively small concert for Native American talent and then all of a sudden have it become a part of a huge international lineup. It's very cool!

[frogcycle]

70. a "General Custer" experience?

:rofl:

[IndyOp]

67. I am surfing - was in D.C., then Hamburg, and now I'm chillin' in London...

B-) B-) B-)

I've only encountered one act so far that I did not want to watch - everyone else has been excellent, tremendous variety and all great acts.

[SharonRB]

56. Damn -- I screwed up

I've been waiting for him on TV and they didn't show it. By the time I went online, he was walking off the stage with Tipper. Hopefully they'll show it later. Gotta run out for a while now.

[frogcycle]

61. Gore is going to get SOOOOO much mileage

out of the line that

"some in Washington tried to keep us out, but instead of the Cavalry it was the American Indian to the rescue"

That is the icing on the cake for this whole thing. That he and Tipper were on stage IN FRIGGING WASHINGTON DC kicking it off with the aid, no less, of the NATIVE AMERICANS is just beyond the wildest imagination two days ago!


The planets are aligning, folks. As he said, we need to go far AND fast, and that means together.

Incidentally, if, in my worst nightmare, he does not become president, then what is the tenure of the Secretary General of the UN? Do you think that just maybe he could make that organization finally live up to the hopes and dreams under which it was founded?

Give him the bully pulpit to address global climate, mideast peace, darfur, aids, malaria...

hmmm...

[Terri S]

64. that's what happens when the right people get together to make things happen..

Listening Congress?? Listening America??

[Terri S]

66. Black Eyed Peas

doing a song in England now.. they wrote for Al ..

[burythehatchet]

74. One brave republican senator refused to allow the concert on public land

Day Vs. Night

[oldgrowth]

63. Marathon been up all night ,been worth it!!!!!!!nt

[burythehatchet]

69. me too. some of the little jingles are etched into my brain

this could be good....hey you....

[IndyOp]

71. "Hey You!" - isn't a jingle, it is Madonna's latest song written for Live Earth

And you can watch the entire video here:
