Fine, so Gore isn't running for anything. It doesn't mean he doesn't want his ilk taking more control of everyone's lives. The whole global warming thing, while a true issue to those who believe it's man-made and that it can be slowed or reversed, is far more a political tactic for those who want to enhance government control over people's lives. Some try it through guilting us. Others try it through scare tactics. Either way, they want control. And either way, it's the height of human arrogance to think what we do makes an iota of difference in the vast history of the Earth. All of human history is less than a blink of an eye in the Earth's history and future. Most people even think our planet is something special in the universe when we're less than a grain of sand in all the Earth's deserts and beaches.
