The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I just love stuff like this.

Gore's not so green

Hypocrisy is omnipresent in the political community, no doubt. But for someone who crusades as he does, wouldn't his apocolyptic viewpoints have greater credibility if he were to actually do some rather obvious things in his own life?

Gore is just an example of someone who expects everyone else to change how they live, but is unwilling to give up his extravagances. I do not begrudge anyone their extravagances or wealth, but stop telling me that my SUV (figurative - I don't actually own an SUV) is going to kill the planet while you heat and cool a 10000 square foot home (among other things).

All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
