This article is farther proof, if any more proof was needed, that Algore knows how to write. It also proves that he is a boring, marginally insane moron who probably continues to believe that he is the president of the United States, or Al(exader) the Great. Or something like that.

A pretty good piece on communist theory. Karl Marx would have been proud. Government is not to cater to every whim of the public but to get out of the way and let the citizens improve their own lot.
I can fault every administration in present history for trying to be the nanny of every special interest that wishes to suck on the hind teat of government. Al gore's article encourages further advancement of this philosophy. For that I say: Go home and take your philosophy with you.
