Something important is happening tomorrow.

Just received. May be of interest to others:

Dear Arctic,

Something important is happening tomorrow.

In a speech in Washington, DC, Nobel Laureate and Former Vice President Al Gore will issue a major challenge, essentially pressing the "reset" button on how we think about energy and climate, and how we can create prosperity in America.

His speech will generate a great deal of attention. Since you are a We campaign member, we wanted to make sure you heard about it in advance. We'll email you when we've posted the video highlights, action steps and other resources -- so stay tuned for breaking news!

Sincerely,

Cathy Zoi
CEO

Re: Something important is happening tomorrow.

Tomorrow the sun will rise, some places will have clouds, other places will have clear skys, birds will twitter and fly around, the wind will blow, waves will crash on beaches, water will flow down rivers, a few trees might fall over, cars will be driven around, I have several meetings at work tomorrow, etc. All that's important .. but perhaps Al might have something important to say.

Re: Something important is happening tomorrow.

Awe, come on, be nice.

You could've just said good things, but you had to ruin it by mentioning "cars will be driven", didn't you?

Uh, gee, I guess my inner curmudgeon came out a bit ... but you're the one who's assuming the cars that are being driven aren't electric.

Re: Something important is happening tomorrow.

I just watched the speech... it's a really good speech, says a lot of good things, but I came out of it with a mixed opinion..

http://www.7gen.com/blog/20080718/24668-al-gore

However I did sign up with their 'Press and Bloggers' section as a blogger, and hope that means they'll send me bunches of material etc to use in my blog. But maybe they won't if they read what I wrote ...

The thing I came up with is .. yeah, he's got a great message and says a lot of great things .. but... in the speech he took on the mantle of Politician. His job used to be Politician and he does a passably well in that role, enough that he was elected to be President (except he didn't get elected..very weird). But his job today isn't Politician but instead Venture Capitalist, and round these parts (I live in Silicon Valley), 'Venture Capitalist' is pronounced 'Vulture Capitalist'. If the U.S. and/or World does as he has challenged us to do, he will be personally enriched because his investment strategy as a Venture Capitalist will pay off. So while his speech is full of statements about the betterment of all life everywhere and I find that really attractive there's this other unstated agenda.

Ummm sorry, he did, but the mandate got seized.

There's a guy who recently went on record saying he was asked to manipulate the source code of the voting machines.
Google for a couple of these terms.
Funny that this could happen in an evolved society - I'm dumbfounded!
