An Inconvenient Truth

[Occhidiangela]

Of course not, really it's about VANDIABLO!!

Well, at least someone important is involved. Oh, wait, did I pronounce that correctly? You know how we red staters tend to elocute. :lol:

Nader: Self-sacrifice?? In the 1980's I might have agreed with you. Not after 2000.

From the mid 1960's to his first election run. That's a career of putting who first? Sure, he's a bit of an attention whore, most public figures are to one degree or another. Did you see his act during the protests against globalization in Seattle, late 90's? Only guy who had anything to say that made any sense. The rest of the panel and meat puppets were full of crap.

Sounds like you have not seen the movie yet.

No I haven't, though I will. I have, however, been watching the political career of Al Gore since the mid 1980's. I have also been a conscientious recycler and "use cars with high gas mileage" guy since I bought my first home. (Early 80's.) I have not gone completely earthy, I still buy regular food at the store.

By the way, Van, you seem to mistake me for a Republican. Don't make that mistake again. :angry:

As to the historical record, Ted Kennedy, had he driven a Volkswagen (they float) would have been elected president in 1972 or 1976. The "driving causes the death of a person when drunk" and Ted Kennedy go together perfectly, they have since 1969. The dude is long past his "sell by date" as was Strom Thurmond some years before he retired. Ted's reputation for hot air is built on a long and distinguished career of being completely full of crap on any topic other than patronage for Massachusettes. On that, he is an artist.

As to rock 'n roll lyrics, I'll point to Living Color, and Cult of Personality.

When the mirror speaks
The reflection lies.

I used those lyrics as a springboard into a conversation with my daughter on politics some weeks ago.
