As wonderful as winning the Nobel is for Gore and he deserves a tremendous amount of kudos for focusing the US public's attention to climate change; he isnt going to run because at the end of the day-he is as mediocre as Hillary when it comes to social justice.

The lack of a social justice agenda in his speeches doesnt give me a tremendous amount of faith in his ability to rid the US of the virus it is experiencing-greed. Without the principles which also demand social justice; effective solutions to climate change are hopeless.

What Gore doesnt want to face is without tremendous sacrifices on the part of capitalism-there are no solutions to climate change or social justice for the US.

The idea that all we need to do is tweak here,tweak there and presto we have solved the problem is folly.

That's why I'm "Gore/Edwards" in this matter, since Edwards is speaking loudly about the social agenda.  Of course, they'd never live through a first term, and that's a big sacrifice to make, but isn't that what heroes sometimes do?

The presentation of "Connie Mae" during the NYU speech last month was just wrong. He speaks as if the need for such an agency, ostensibly for new construction, were independent of the residential housing glut and illiquidity which exists, imminent deflationary ForEx conditions, and conflicts of interest among underwriters building this new debt structure on consumers' backs.
