A Question Of Sanity
Czech President questions the sanity of Al Gore. He makes a fine argument.
>>Mr Al Gore may be saying something along these lines: a sane person can't.
>>I don't see any ruining of the planet, I have never seen it, and I don't think that a reasonable and serious person could say such a thing. Look: you represent the economic media so I expect a certain economical erudition from you. My book will answer these questions. For example, we know that there exists a huge correlation between the care we give to the environment on one side and the wealth and technological prowess on the other side. It's clear that the poorer the society is, the more brutally it behaves with respect to Nature, and vice versa.• It's also true that there exist social systems that are damaging Nature - by eliminating private ownership and similar things - much more than the freer societies. These tendencies become important in the long run. They unambiguously imply that today, on February 8th, 2007, Nature is protected uncomparably more than on February 8th ten years ago or fifty years ago or one hundred years ago.• That's why I ask: how can you pronounce the sentence you said? Perhaps if you're unconscious? Or did you mean it as a provocation only? And maybe I am just too naive and I allowed you to provoke me to give you all these answers, am I not? It is more likely that you actually believe what you say.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Your right Leaning, but the MSM have already picked out Obama as its man and they have the power..........

Obama is merely a distraction, not the main event.

I agree with this. When Gore enters it will be him and Hillary to the death. Obama will just be a "speed bump".....oh, did I just say that out loud?

They picked Howie Dean last election cycle. They aren't very good at it.

Looks like the Czech prezzy and John Howard are drinking buddies. Maybe they also share a speech writer.

I don't think that any of "con" candidates attempted to say that all the diplomats of other nations wanted them to be President as a recent candidate for another party did...

Yet you were the one who made the point that they shouldn't look for support from the outside.
Plus, I don't think we'd be anywhere different with Kerry, his plan was to add 10,000 more troops and do the same thing Bush was.

Yes, but several years earlier than Bush is trying it....

However, Bush actually changed tactic when he did it. Kerry had no such plan. The only difference between Kerry and Bush was that 10,000 more troops would have been there. There was no push in his plan to clean Baghdad, nothing in it about allowing troops to enter previously politically protected areas...
Kerry had no plan whatsoever for Iraq other than keepin' on keepin' on with more troops there. So...
So far you have said that it was a bad thing to look outside the US for support, even though the candidate you supported did just that... then attempt to equate no plan with an actual different tactic... You aren't batting well today.
