While no one...Gore is the bitter one, I am afraid. While no one denies his right to pursue his passion - he is much like the ill-famed Rachel Carson who so vehemently cmapainged against DDT and thus bears the burden of 20 million souls lost to bad science and alarmist policy.<BR/><BR/>Gore lost for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that no one believed him. The peace prize is a political nomination, subjective in the extreme. How will the 1100 plus scientists of the IPCC divide their prize money? <BR/><BR/>Continued praise for Gore may feel good - however it is horribly misplaced. We live in a world where subjective experience means more than reasoned analysis. It is a place careening about on the rudder of soundbites, YouTube videography and flat out bad science. <BR/><BR/>PS - In fact, the Nobel Prize would make it harder for gore to challenge Hillary - perhaps the Clintons bought out the committee...Citizen Deuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425085335850663316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-4135180733845852012007-10-12T16:03:00.000-04:002007-10-12T16:03:00.000-04:00um. wow. bitter much? what, you see the Nobel Priz...um. wow. bitter much? what, you see the Nobel Prize as a consolation prize to the guy who the majority of the country voted for? <BR/><BR/>There is a great thread over at Datalounge which starts out thusly (and yes, there are many freaks and flamers, but what a great opening quote...)<BR/><BR/>"Al Gore. Man.<BR/><BR/>We're like the cheerleader who had to pick between the halfback and the awkward kid.<BR/><BR/>Naturally, we picked the halfback.<BR/><BR/>And now we live in our trailer and clean up his beer bottles, while we watch the awkward kid on TV talking about the fortune he made in computers<BR/><BR/>We think about what might have been. But in our hearts, we know we got exactly what we wanted. And exactly what we deserved."<BR/><BR/>Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Al Gore belongs to the whole planet now. The Presidency would be a step down. "<BR/><BR/>The link to the entire thread is here: http://www.datalounge.com/<BR/>cgi-bin/iowa/forum/thread/gossip/<BR/>5532642/page-1.html<BR/><BR/>But remember, this is also coming from someone sitting all alone and dateless on in East Anglia on an UNSEASONABLY WARM Friday Night, waiting for UGLY BETTY to start.
