Gore Calls For Civil Disobedience?!

Al Gore, in a speech at the 2008 Clinton Global Initiative, suggested that it was time for young people to use civil disobediance to stop the building of coal plants without carbon storage. Gore is right, we shouldn't be making new coal plants without carbon storage facilities, but it isn't necessary, and it definetly shouldn't be accomplished through violent or destructive means.
Also, in one statement, met with much applause, Gore said, "Tax what we burn, not what we earn." This was of course in favor of a carbon tax that would replace the income tax. Hey, I'm all for abolishing the income tax, but a carbon tax? That's just ridiculous. And, what's funiest about this is, Al would be paying a pretty hefty fine for his massive carbon footprint, but of course he has enough cash so that it wouldn't matter.
So, Al Gore: former Vice President, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, author, and now: ECO-TERRORIST. Yep, right up there with those nutcases in ELF. I mean really Al? May I call you Al? This is beyond silly. This is quite possibly the dumbest thing that has ever come out of your mouth, and that's saying something (Yep, this even beats, "I invented the internet."). Calling for civil disobedience? Well there's really not much more to say. We knew he was ignorant, we knew he ignored the scientific facts that would put the final nail in his enviromentally friendly coffin, but now we know that he's just plain stupid.

European's Criticize Wall Street, Blame Us For Their Troubles

Our own stock market meltdown in the U.S. has naturally set off a tidal wave of economic troubles across the rest of the globe. Europe most recently was hit by the aftershocks of our last crash, and now they have begun to criticize speculators stockholders, and the U.S. government, looking for a target for their wrath.
And yet hardened U.S. stock market experts are acting the complete opposite. They aren't worried. And why should we be? And more importantly those self-righteous European slugs should get off our back and worry about their own problems. We can handle this. We are handling this. Our economy had been through low times before, but we rebounded then. This is natural, just listen to Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times". Chill out. Europeans are acting like little kids, whining and complaining and trying to blame other people for their problems, citing "voracious selfishness" of speculators and "stupid sluggishness" of regulators as the cause of the economic crisis. If your economy can't stand up without ours supporting it, you probably shouldn't be too critical. The cause for this wasn't greed or selfishness, it was average people overestimating their wealth and defaulting on mortages. The last thing we need is panic.
