This isn't about the Nobel or electability or stopping Hillary or anything else.

This isn't about the Nobel or electability or stopping Hillary or anything else. This is about the future and the fate of the coming generations of human beings on this planet. Will humankind continue to prosper and thrive and evolve for the better, or will future generations of our kin be living in a nightmare world of wars for water, massive movements of displaced people, starvation, disease and constant conflict for survival?

This is about laying a marker, for the other Democartic candidates and the American public and all the world to see. And Gore will enter at precisely the moment when his entry will have the most impact, in terms of influencing what happens in Bali and beyond. Gore will be drawing a line in the sand, and not just on climate, but on Iraq, on the Consitution and habeas corpus, and torture and rendition and warrantless wiretapping and restoring checks and balances and oversight and the Rule of Law, and the Geneva Conventions and America's honour in the world. He will run because he must.

1. That's a great read kpete!

I still prefer him to continue on doing what he's doing and using what I perceive to be his "higher ground" to push politics and the environment from his unique position. To me, he's got the stature of a former president, combined with the fact that the planet knows he was robbed. It gives him a very, very, unique position in the world.

I will, of course, be more than happy to support whatever he does.

2. If he decides to run I will vote for him..

He is a genuine hero in a world that has so few.
