Al Gore stole the show at the Oscar's this year. Undeservedly so. The same guy that is a "pioneer" on global warming, with his Oscar winning documentary, enjoys using 20 times more energy on his mansion than the average American home. So, in essence, 20 families equal one Al Gore. In fact, since his documentary, his electricity use has INCREASED.
I personally do not care. If he wants to consume that much energy and stand on a platform to tell everyone else to cut theirs down, that's something he chooses to do. That is the quickest way to lose credibility in a small world where most truth is exposed. It just makes me sick that he would be lifted up on a pedestal and paraded as a saint through the streets of
Advance a cause with integrity! The American public is not stupid. We generally see through most hypocrisy and can tell when someone is really sincere about a cause. Don't make someone a hero simply because he takes a position on something. Make him a hero because he takes a position and LIVES it.
If I had put together a slide show presentation that was as equally as good as his, I would be sitting at my computer, watching it on Youtube. I don't have the last name Gore, first name Al, and I'm not noticeable to the public, and I don't label myself a democrat.
I don't know if you can convince me that Al Gore or any other Celebrity democrat is really that concerned with the environment. After all, it's almost election season, a platform needs to be raised, awareness for a certain party needs to be fought for, and attention needs to be grabbed. It all came together on one night, when a man who tells others to conserve energy yet equals the consumption of energy of twenty average American households, was praised as a representative of everything that is good in this country.
I’m not trying to advance a republican agenda. It’s the hypocrisy that makes me angry. It’s saying you believe in something, winning a prestigious award for it, making a pageantry out of it on a night where millions of Americans are watching on television, and lacking the conscious to be real about the life you really live, all in the name of subliminal politics.
There are many people who push for change and they are to be admired for that. They believe something, they live it. Al Gore, he just speaks it as I’m sure many others do. THAT should be unacceptable. That, to me, is.
