So, was my previous posting "irresponsible"??
Today, I read my last posting on the air. It is the one that you can find by scrolling down on this page. It is about "An Inconvenient Truth" the film about the rants of Albert Arnold Gore, Junior, of Washington, D.C. regarding environmental disasters that he says are going to happen.
I actually stated that I believe that Global Warming is real. I disagree with how Gore says it happens. Many have agreed with me, but others I am sure disagree.
One of them told me IMMEDIATELY after the show. He said that I need to see the movie. I told him that I am not paying my money to line Gore's pockets, but if I got a free pass, I'd go see it. He offered to pay for my ticket to go. I turned him down, because that would still put money in Gore's pockets.
Here is my point. This film is a great way to skirt the rules of campaign finance. Gore COULD use the profits and publicity from this film to set up a run for the White House in 2008.
But Jay, Gore told us he did not want to run. Well, Nixon told us in 1962 that would would not have "Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." Wasn't he elected President in 1968? And again in 1972? So, with a little bit of money, a positive spin on his views courtesy of this movie and he may make that run for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Am I anti-Albert Arnold Gore, Junior, of Washington, D.C.? Maybe a little. Because he is dishonest with us. First, his environmental views are based on junk science. I say that because HE cannot explain the warming of Mars, Venus and other planets. The warming exists there and THEY HAVE NO CARS, TRUCKS OR EVEN SUV's!!! Second, he is dishonest in his roots. He claims to be from Tennessee. He was born in Washington, D.C. He was educated in Washington, D.C. He has worked most of his adult life in, you guessed it, Washington, D.C. He spent time in Carthage, Tennessee, as he was growing up. His FAMILY had and still has property there. But I am willing to bet that I have spent more time in Tennessee than he has. I am 35 years old, I have lived here since I was 26. I moved here in June 1997. Gore is 58 years old. I do not know how much time he has spent here. I may not have him in actual time, but I am sure that I have him as a percentage. I have spent over a quarter of my life as a Tennessean. I am a graduate of the University of Tennessee, as well. My sons attend PUBLIC schools in Tennessee.
And take notice of where Gore has spent his post Vice Presidential life?
I bet that he is a decent guy. I really do. But I have a hard time giving him and credibility when he says things that are simply distorted or untrue.
Can you see my point? Or do these concerns simply seem petty? Let me know.
