American Democracy in Trouble

wow. al gore. and he won... should have been prez... i've wondered this whole time (this whole illigitimate bush reign during which the world has gone mad) what it would have been like with gore, and what gore would have done in the face of the already-corrupt structure of the powers already in place, and the realities of global warming and peak oil, and if he would've been assassinated, etc. also i wonder if he'd become prez could he have gotten rid of the stiff neck? because i have read things which led me to believe that he could be very cool and witty if he felt comfortable enough.

anyway as depressing as this is it's always heartwarming to have a voice of sanity out there. here it is, al gore's keynote speech at the we media conference in new york.
