18. I think that Al Gore is such a Serious Person he couldn't get it together like Colbert or Stewart.

He is who he is...and from a different time and maybe was so disillusioned with "Selection 2000" that it ate into his soul and when all his calls for ACTION over Climate Change were scoffed at...and he realized POLITICS for what it was he decided to do what was right for HIMSELF...and just make money off of the corruption in our SYSTEM.

Howard Dean followed the same path with supporting some disgusting NeoCon thing with Iran to make money off of speeches and Bill Clinton has made Millions off of Haiti Relief with George HW Bush.

The CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT. Going against the MIC means you die in deficit.

Better to get along with the MIC than GO AGAINST THEM. Your Children and their Children will do well if you just CAVE!

Who knows what this means MORALLY? I don't know what I would do faced with the enormous power these Leaders had and how it seems they sold the "Average Amricans Out" ...and why and what their motives were.

I wouldn't want to live with their lives to the end, though. I wouldn't want to have that stuff on my soul.
