“As a political figure, Gore may be more palatable as a possible dark horse than an actual candidate—precisely because he seems incapable of turning his passions into sound bites. And in any campaign, he might find himself on the defensive for his business activities. In his slideshow tour, he has been paid by many companies, which could be used to challenge his integrity. ...He also headed the Apple board committee that cleared Steve Jobs of wrongdoing in the stock-options backdating scandal.”

A few inconvenient details slipped in at the end. LOL

Here’s another:

At the core of Tertullian’s teachings lay his bitter admonition that life in the 2nd century had become too extravagant, too wasteful, and that population growth had run out of control. Mankind was raping the Earth of its resources, he warned grimly “...we men have actually become a burden to the Earth ... the Earth can no longer support us ...” And, to escape total planetary destruction, mankind had to withdraw to the past and practice severe asceticism, living in a simpler more natural state. ~ Tertullian of Carthage.

Fast-forward 1800 years... to Saint Algore of Carthage, Tennessee
