My buddy Hugh sent this to me this weekend. Al Gore has been in the news this past week for throwing down the gauntlet on Global Warming. He believes that the US should strive to rid itself of its addiction to fossil fuels within the next decade. Very Kennedy-esque. I think we are up to the task, but it won't be easy.
Take a look at this Thomas Freidman editoral on the topic. He's been beating the war drum on this topic for years.

are those last 3 paragraphs from the We campaign's e-mail? I'm assuming so, since it sounds more formal and PR-ish than something you'd write.
If so, you can set it off as a block quote..it's among the blogger tools--look for the " button.
I am increasingly impressed with Gore as a leader. I wonder if he would have been as bold a leader as President...thanks to the Supreme Court, we'll never know.
