3. Try Running For Office Sometime
For all those wishful thinkers...just think for a second what you're asking Mr. Gore and his family to endure...again. I suspect every day, Mr. Gore wakes up enjoying that his life isn't under a microscope and his life isn't in the corporate media fishbowl that all politicians end up in. I can't imagine any family enjoying the trashing that goes on during a political campaign...all the lies, the distortions and frustration. Who needs it?

It's not like Gore was "born to run"...he knows the toll an election campaign takes on a person and. having done it once, he sure doesn't appear ready to deal with it again. No sooner would he announce than the corporate media would be all over him for being "wooden" or having gotten into the race for "vanity".

Mr. Gore has moved off the American political stage onto another, bigger one...far more important for the planet and a far better use of his skills and knowledge. He WILL be a factor in next year's election, but not as a candidate, but an advocate for change. He's far more valuable that way.
