Al Gore recently said we have 10 years before oblivion. He obviously thinks the Mayas were off by 6 yrs. ROFL. How often does he who stalks manbearpig listen to Headed for Destruction by Jackyl?
I've been reading about the possible collision/merger of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. I also watched a program on TV about that. Worst case scenario, all life on earth is destroyed in a few billion years. I'm really glad I don't have to ever worry about that. They have said that they have been measuring a reduction in distance between the two galaxies. I guess if it ever happened, we have a lot of time to prepare for it. I wonder how advanced our space travel and exploration will be by then... http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5...es_Collide.html http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=when-m...ome&ref=rss <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>If Homo sapiens can stick it out on Earth for another two billion years, our descendants may witness quite a show in the night sky. Researchers estimate that the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, at around that time—well before the sun collapses into a white dwarf, perhaps destroying the Earth in the process.</div>

Al Gore asked all the people to ride bicycles or walk to his most recent speech/venue. Meanwhile, he showed up with a fleet of cars and SUVs, which left the motors and air conditioners running so they'd be nice and cool when Gore and his entourage was ready to leave. Surely they headed to his private jet for a ride home. Arnold is pretty famous for flying in his private from LA to Sacramento to work as governor.

Appearantly, Al and Tipper have astronomical bills heating the home in Tennessee by going green. Gore is up in the night when he says powering our homes is giving money to those who hate us. It was my understanding that electricity is produced from coal right here in the US. It seems to me that Al, the Dems, and the other greenies only want to try certain alternatives. As John Layfield & Tracy Byrnes on Fox Business have said and will say again, "we need to try everything." Though, I've never heard Hydrogen is never mentioned. http://www.lib.msu.edu/harris23/environment/hydrogen.htm
I find it funny that this guy won all these awards, served as VP in what is now regarded one of the most popular administrations in history, supposedly invented the internet, and is now presumably going to save the world... But he couldn't beat George W. Bush, the same man his liberal cronies call dumb, a war criminal and a complete failure. They prop this guy up like he's the second coming.

It's just funny how they bash Bush as a stupid warmongering failure, and Al Gore, who lost to Bush is now regarded as the savior. My point is if he's so great, why didn't he win? He didn't even win his home state in 2000.

You're right, Bush's legacy will be defined by the Iraq war, and how it was handled for years until the surge. My point is someone needs to bring this guy back down to earth. I don't see anyone doing that in the media or anywhere else.
You guys hijacked my global warming thread into an Iraq thread People in the future will compare the time spent in Iraq with how long we occupied Japan and Germany and even our own South, along with the ultimate result. People don't remember this about FDR, but there were many battles early in the war where we got our asses kicked. Put that in the same perspective.
