Today is a great day for children, and for Mother Earth. I am trying to be filled with a renewed hope that we as a species will get our act together in time. Seeing Mr. Gore there in Oslo helps very much in that hope. Great picture.

1. That's a HORRIBLE PICTURE. He looks like the Joker.

[RestoreGore]

2. It's great in context

Of course, it's no surprise here that looks matter most with the message being lost.

3. Sometimes you almost lose faith in humanity.....

[acmavm]

5. Whatever. If that makes you lose your faith in humanity you didn't

have much to begin with.

[Gullvann]

11. I said almost :-)

My faith in humanity will never be quashed.

Just probably in a foul mood since Liverpool lost against Reading over the weekend :-P

Cheers.

12. See, I have the opposite type of situation. Denver beat the

hell out of Kansas City.

4. I'm sure that there was a better picture that they could have

printed.

And NO, THE MESSAGE DIDN'T GET LOST.

I just think they could have done the man justice.

6. I hate to come into an American forum and say this, because

I love you all (except Bush LOl)

But, why do yo ufocus on totally superficial stuff.

?

8. Listen, for the last time. That's not my focus. I can read. I do

understand what I read.

Pay attention now. Closely.

I THINK THEY USED A BAD PICTURE OF GORE OUT OF PURE SPITE.

I don't think it's right.

Got it now?

[Gullvann]

9. I do. I am sorry,

I am just probably too touchy, because I am too tired of the right wing smears against Gore for his weight etc. And, you are probably right. They do everything to discredit our work.

Hopefully the good minded people of this world will disregard such nonsense and focus on the heart of the matter.

Cheers.

10. When they use bad photos of the guy they influence those who

do concentrate of the superficial. And they do it to Gore intentionally.

And it pisses me off.

7. It's action in life that counts, not good looks or sweet words.

[acmavm]

13. Read the thread again to see why it pissed me off.

14. If he doesn't look "Presidential" it doesn't fly here

He was smiling at a child is all. I actually don't understand myself why some have to right away go for the look rather than the meaning of what was going on. But then I suppose the mind sees what it chooses to see.
