I've generally never made a secret of my support for Mr. Gore. Though I'm a political independehttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifnt and agrhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifee with Frank Zappa's take on Tipper's efforts to clean up rock music, I've got a soft spot for Mr. Gore. I just think we would all be better off if we elected smart guys who focus on long-term issues like global warming, restructuring our energy economy, supporting tech development, devolving high concentrations of political power, reforming social security (without a $3 Billion payout to Wall Street) and bringing fiscal conservatism back to the federal government. Funny... before the 90's these were Republican ideals.Anyway... Getting Mr. Gore to run again for the 2008 election is probably a pipe dream, but you never know.
