Too, there are many who believe that the 2004 re-election of Bush was stolen in Ohio. It was just recently reported that 2004 Ohio election records have been "accidentally" destroyed, despite a federal order to preserve them. You tell me what this means.

Now in 2007, while Bush is considered the worst president in US history, Al Gore was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize, on top of winning popular Oscar and Emmy awards. If there was a prize for poetic justice, Al Gore would win that too.

Bush's power derives not from his intelligence or talents, but from his continued harping on fears of terrorism, plus support from the dominant military/industrial establishment. His presidency is a monument to the perils of shortsightedness.

By contrast, Al Gore has finally been rewarded for taking the long view. Many are agreed that not since Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson has America seen a political figure with such a keen, scientific mind. He is on the board of Apple and is a senior adviser to Google, among many other business and teaching involvements.

I'm NOT advocating that Al Gore should enter the 2008 presidential race. However, I think he can and should use his political cards to maintain recognition of his long view of American politics and global warming. If you haven't read his recent articulate and passionate book, "An Assault on Reason", read it!

Note on Global Warming: A majority of scientists now agree that humans are contributing to global warming. Of course, there are the contrarians who point out the Gore's movie had gross inaccuracies. A British judge recently ruled that there are 9 scientifically unproven inaccuracies in the movie. Of course, this also means that there are an overwhelming number of facts. The remaining dissenters have roots traceable to funding from fossil-fuel industries, and they are rapidly being shot down. The scientific debate is over.
