Y'know, Al Gore has gotten a lot more interesting since 2000...

Yow.

Thanks to msmemory, who pointed me at this transcript of Gore's speech yesterday. It's long, but a damned good read -- a truly incindiary call to action. It pulls absolutely no punches, calling everyone in government to task. Frankly, if the man had shown half this much passion in 2000, he might have won that election...

I do not feel persoally obligated to create a LiveJournal or OpenID to leave a comment on a blog. Especially when the only other option to use is Anonymous. Perhaps we can agree that is a failure of this LiveJournal commenting system.

I suppose one's brand of vacuous negativity depends on the desired flavor of the spice, wot? Your vacuous negativity is your crowd's chocolate and my corriander, and vice-versa. Sometimes it is necessary to taste what you feel is bad cooking in order to help your own, I say.

So long as it's at least *signed* in some fashion, I don't mind it nearly as much -- that provides some continuity to the discussion, so that I can get some idea of who I'm talking to. But when it's wholly unattributed, it does comes across as *much* more trollish...
