Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.

This Earth - Al Gore
Can you imagine how much better off America - and the world - would be today, if we'd elected Al Gore in 2000, instead of that faith-based idiot, George W. Bush?
Gore isn't perfect, but at least he's rational and, for the most part, evidence-based.
I wish we had some kind of alternate timeline viewer because I've often wondered what our life would be like if Gore had won in 2000. I assume 9/11 would still have happened but I don't think Gore would have gotten us in two wars. The real question would be whether or not we'd be geared up to fight global warming. The past 12 years would be tremendously valuable if we had applied them.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of faith-based thinking and the environment, get a load of this:

Thanks, Jeff. I'd seen that at People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch, too, so it's on my list, if I ever get around to posting it.
DeleteYeah I wish someone would write that alternate history, I'd definitely want to read it.
ReplyDeleteForget about reading it, John. I want to live it! :)
