We are managing the planet as if it were a business in liquidation, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore declared to a capacity audience of 900 MBA students during a talk titled A Change in Business Climate presented in Burden Auditorium in December. Gore explained that the population explosion, coupled with the revolutions in science and technology, have greatly magnified the impact of humans on the earths ecosystem. But the biggest challenge we face, he said, is changing the way we think about our relationship with the environment. [snip]
If price tags are the only tool used to measure value, said Gore, then things that dont have price tags appear to have no value. [snip]
Gore [snip], said that solving the environmental crisis represents the greatest source of new business opportunity in the world. [snip]
In attacking the climate crisis, Gore concluded, the rest of the world will follow if America provides leadership. This is the only crisis that has threatened the end of human civilization, he said, and we are moving in the opposite direction. [snip]
[snip] In his talk, sponsored by the Schools Leadership and Values Initiative, Gore stated that in an ideal world, employment-based taxes would be replaced by levies on pollution, which is by definition an indicator of waste and inefficiency [snip]
Gore and David Blood (MBA 85) are founding partners of Generation Investment Management, a firm that makes long-term investments in companies adhering to sustainability principles.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
It must be a hard sell among the liberal, socialist communist elites, to decide who is worthy of elitist status.
They must work really hard to prove themselves.
We must work really hard to expose them.
Harder than we have ever done. Small mention means nothing. Major exposure does.
See my post # 23. So true.
"We must work really hard to expose them."
There is only one way to expose them. Destroy the MSM. Take away there messenger and you take away the message. That's what they are trying to do with the fairness doctrine.
They get it. Why don't we?
This man nearly won the presidency of the United States of America.
The Fairness Doctrine will basically render us without an opinion.
At least one that no one will ever hear, they hardly hear it today, The sheeple opinion is made by the MSM and people just buy it.
Truth is, most of the everyday folks just belive what the MSM say now.
I have always wondered as to why the MSM can sell their own opinion, not just news, and not have to have their personal ties and affiliations under scrutiny.
If all you do is give a non biased report, well okay, the minute they spin to a bias, they should have to be answerable just like everyone else.
"This man nearly won the presidency of the United States of America."
Better yet, This man would have been President if he won his home state.
