So he makes no contradiction between his speech and actions. Therefore my logic is not absurd. I do not suppose VP Gore would support an increase in private jet usage.

It's run by a long-time right-wing attack hack, and its only registered address is a P.O. box. Why is everyone in the media taking what it says about Gore's electricity use at face value?Good point. I should have provided a more concrete source. Since the burden is on me to support this assertion, I cannot stand by it.

Do as I say, not as I do?

I respectfully disagree. If you're referring to global warming, and the claim that it is caused by humans, you have not referenced any "black and white" support.
>> Now, can we go on to solve this important problem, which your children and grandchildren will pay dearly for, called Global Warming?
If this is in fact the case, I certainly hope so.
Peace...Saturn.
