Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've viewed Al's DVD. Very convincing. I've implemented his suggestions in my own place. If he ran for president, I'd vote for him. The hypocrisy reference is below. If true, very damaging to his message. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/8/10/101558.shtml?s=ic Al Gore insists the world must embrace a " carbon-neutral lifestyle " and make necessary sacrifices to head off what he warns will be an environmental cataclysm – but in his personal life he doesn’t practice what he preaches. " Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb, " warns the Web site for his global warming documentary, " An Inconvenient Truth.” " We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin. " Gore tells consumers how to change their lives to curb their carbon-gobbling ways: Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, use a clothesline, drive a hybrid, use renewable energy, dramatically cut back on consumption. But " public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.,” Peter Schweizer, author of the book Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy,” writes in USA Today. " For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.” Joe Postma <joepostma wrote: I saw on the news that he uses all green energy, and he more than compensates by donating and fund raising for environmental groups, not to mention his making and giving seminars about it. In any case, it's the message that matters, not the messenger. You'll find hypocrisy in anyone who isn't a true Saint! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 His large houses don't bother me. However, I was disappointed that his documentary made no mention of vegetarianism as one way we could live lighter. While I was watching it, when he started describing his childhood on the farm, I thought, " here it comes, " but it never did. Maybe this is too much to ask of Americans? -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog rawfood , tev treowlufu <goraw808 wrote: > > I've viewed Al's DVD.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Ditto. The Serv Group [http://www.serv-online.org/] wrote to him/his media group pointing out vegetarianism as " good for the environment " but no response or admission as yet. If the guy wants to own more than one house and can afford to, then that is his business. If the houses are energy guzzlers, and he hasn't made them " green, " then, hypocrisy will eat up his message eventually. tev Erin <truepatriot wrote: His large houses don't bother me.
