Al Gore

Oh please....I never heard him support the Tea Party.
Funny that.
How does he say this with a straight face?
“With democracy in crisis, a true grassroots movement pointing out the flaws in our system is the first step in the right direction. Count me among those supporting and cheering on the Occupy Wall Street movement.”

Steve Jobs RIP

Visionary.
Will our current way of viewing people as all equal, all winners, allow another one to come forward?
Weren't we supposed to hate him because he was a billionaire at the head of a....CORPORATION?
Sometimes it's hard to keep up....

update: his commencement speech was quite remarkable and well worth taking 15 minutes to watch

Cheney/Obama

Maybe it is possible to forget how it felt on September 12, 2001. If I recall correctly, there were few people who didn't feel that another attack was imminent.
I know it is possible to forget some things that have been said in the past ten years because I had forgotten the accusation of 'over-reaction' on the part of the Bush administration.
Luckily some amongst us have a better memory.

underwater

Watching some older footage from Cousteau, checking out the Nile river.
I guess that is where a lot of this enviornmentalism has its roots.
The happy go lucky natives are fine but cue the sinister music when those 'moderns' go and do something stupid like building a dam so that people can get water.
He seems to suggest that man is somehow outside of nature, like a blot on what otherwise would be a perfect self sustaining world where the balance is equisitely maintained.
Subtle Jacques, very subtle.
