100. Actually
The main thing that prompted me to post this was more about the lengths that were gone to in order to prevent Gore (and others) from helping people in dire need. In fact, I created a new thread specifically about that because I didn't want that aspect of the situation to be overlooked--especially in the light of what we're now seeing about militarizing disaster relief, not allowing for an independent investigation on what went wrong, and so forth. The new thread is here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

I should have given it a better subject title, but now it's too late to edit it. Oh well!

I do think that Gore deserves to be commended and was disappointed that it wasn't in the press, despite him obviously not doing it for that reason. I admit I'd love to see him run and win in 2008, but that remains to be seen....
