Subjects always make excuses for their idelogical gods. This I am sure will be no different.
Apparently spreading the word allows you to trample all over the cause you are spreading the word about.

I don't know what to make of this whole Gore thing. On the one hand, he does require the use of modern transportation to travel the globe and spread the message on global warming...it is virtually impossible to truly lead an emmissions neutral lifestyle given today's available transportation technologies.
On the other hand, given Gore's wealth, his lifestyle certainly supports the enjoyment of luxuries that leave a larger emmissions footprint than the Average Joe.
Case in point...several companies now offer pre fabricated Eco friendly homes, made of recycled goods, and assembled out of building blocks that reduce construction waste...I would expect Gore, as the champion of Global Warming, to build such a home for himself...and promote the technologies currently available that, in the next 5 to 10 years, could help mitigate the global warming problem.

Gotta love it.
That's the entire platform of all of our government officials, save the select few. Look at the recent Republican scandals also. Two gay republicans who rail against gays. Look at Haggart, or catholic priests.
It's all the same, barely anybody in our government represents us. They think they are superior and thus, able to circumvent the laws or their own "moral teachings". You yourself fall into this trap by assuming that it's only the democrats. Intellectually and self-deceivingly weak individuals attempt to point fingers without realization that they themselves fall into their own fears.

LMAO, you girls act like this guy is running for office or something.
If he walked everywhere he went, you Nancy's would be complaining "Who the fvck does this guy think he is, Jesus?" and that he is trying to win the fundie vote for the Dems.
Face it, no matter what this guy does regarding his mode of travel, you would find fault. Funny and sad at the same time.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once told Ernest Hemingway, "rich people are different from the rest of us." "Yeah," Hemingway replied, "they have more money."

Bu bU Bu.... He travels with a staff and the materials required for his work. How else do you expect him to travel on his schedule with his security requirements? :roll:
Sean Hannity wouldn't know how to describe any part of the real world if it bit him on the ass, let alone which lie to tell about it, unless Murdoch gave him the script.

Rich guy flies private jet. Big news. And yes, he buys carbon credits to offset when lots of rich folk don't. Should he walk through an airport with this secret service team? That wouldn't cause much traffic. Maybe he should fly coach. Prove he's a man of the people.
So if someone is concerned about global warming I guess they have to live in a hut somewhere or else they're a hypocrite. What? He drives a car that isn't electric?
You want hypocritical? Why do religious people cry at funerals? The deceased is with god in heaven, kicking back getting a massage for all eternity. If you are a true believer, there should be almost no sadness at all in death. It's like winning $100 million in the lottery and stubbing your toe at the same time. The one should totally obscure the other. Sure, you might feel a pang of loss, but if you really believe in the afterlife and all its rewards, your net reaction should be one of happiness. And don't tell me its only natural and emotional to regret the loss of the person, because the few paltry decades of life we have here are a blink compared to the eternity that awaits. The reason people cry is because when it comes down to it, they know there's nothing but darkness awaiting. And when faced with the reality of death, they can't convince themselves otherwise.
So if you are religious, then when your parents die and are in heaven, don't cry, have a party. I'll mourn for us both.

Are you saying you'd smile if she offed and cremated TLC. I think that's outrageous.

I'm used to OT, so I'm not going to say what I want to say, since I think running off topic and being vulgar might get me owninated here.

Fergie would undoubtedly love Cream of TLC. All Gore, not so much. But he surely could offset it by buying carbon credits from himself to alleviate the guilt.
Horseshit. He could fly commercial like the rest of us peons. He's entitled to trample his own cause, merely because the schedule he sets for himself dictates it? Perhaps he is setting this aggressive schedule for himself not just for the "cause", but because he makes more at one of these events than most of us do in a year? Nah...that couldnt be it.
