It's going to be a very hot summer.

And, a bit more truth:

George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

8. Yes. I'm very worried about all those idealistic kids marching

right now. Of course, they are right to do it.

But, I don't think they fully realize the hatred they are going up against.

And, maybe that's a good thing.

I want to do a dance or a chant to keep them, to keep us all, safe.

As if.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Well they believe in what they are marching for, so I guess, or hope

they realize the risk they are about to take. They feel the need to take a stand. Good for them!

5. Take your Republican friends & relatives to see this flick.

If this doesn't make true believers out of them, I don't know what will.

35. Snip from the article:

"The Moment of Truth" by Al Gore
Sunday, 09 April 2006

(Vanity Fair) - Clichés are, by definition, over used. But here is a rare exception - a certifiable cliché that warrants more exposure, because it carries meaning deeply relevant to the biggest challenge our civilization has ever confronted.

The Chinese expression for "crisis" consists of two characters: 危機. The first is a symbol for "danger"; the second is a symbol for "opportunity."

The rapid accumulation of global-warming pollution in the Earth's atmosphere is now confronting human civilization with a crisis like no other we have ever encountered. This climate crisis is, indeed, extremely dangerous, but it also presents unprecedented opportunities.

Before we can get to the opportunities, however, it is crucial to define the danger, and to discuss how it is that we in the United States seem to be having such difficulty perceiving that danger.

危

The climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it is a true planetary emergency. The voluminous evidence suggests strongly that, unless we act boldly and quickly to deal with the causes of global warming, our world will likely experience a string of catastrophes, including deadlier Hurricane Katrinas in both the Atlantic and Pacific.

24. I've been anxiously awaiting

the trailer ever since I heard about this film ... looks absolutely powerful. It's not going to mince words and I'm very excited to know that. That last line Gore utters in the trailer sent chills down my spine! I hope I don't have to travel TOO far to see it!

Gore seemed pretty firmly against the idea last year. :-(
