48. Dangerous garbage
There is no "higher power" or "God" or "fate" who writes the script and calls the shots.

We humans are responsible for our own actions and for the consequences of those actions.

We are responsible for depleting the Earth's natural resources.

We are responsible for changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere.

We are responsible for allowing non-transparent elections using electronic voting machines (there are many countries where they still use paper and pencil - with all votes counted by hand in full view of observers representing all the candidates - like England for example).

We are responsible for allowing Reagan and poppy Bush to install right-wing partisan judges on the US Supreme Court.

We are responsible for allowing Bu$h-Cheney-Rove-Rumsfeld to steal the Presidency.

We are responsible for nominating the best possible candidate for the Presidency in 2008.

If we want Gore to enter the race, we are responsible for letting him know, and for creating the conditions that would allow him to lead the field and win the nomination (and then the election).

The future is in our hands. The only question is: do we have the courage, the knowledge, the motivation and the determination to accept and fulfil this responsibility? :eyes:


Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:

Read Rolling Stone magazine: WHY GORE SHOULD RUN -- AND HOW HE CAN WIN

Get ready for Al Gore's next book - The Assault on Reason - out in May!
