In March 2007, Al Gore triumphantly returned to the Senate to testify before the Environmental Committee about the imperative of acting to stop global warming. It was mostly a calm and cordial affair until the infamous climate-change denier, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), received his time to [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

Wow! An expose of a Christialn mediator dealing with opposing viewpoints, in the climatololgy field, no less. And he has also mediated in political and labor disputes. This is terrible. Maybe we ought to take it to the Supreme Court.
Or we could just go back to sleep.
Z-Z-Z-Z.
Well, We are having a federal election here in Canada too, just because Stephen Harper (who, in dropping the writ, violates his own, new law about fixed election dates) thinks now’s the time for him to act in order to secure a majority Conservative government.
Listening to Eilzabeth May, the Green Party leader in an interview on TVOntario, I heard her complain about Americans, especially Nader supporters, who exclaimed: ‘Gore or Bush, What was the difference?’ I expect that from the Green Party leader. Her delivery was certainly dramatic. My thought was there is no difference, since there’s no difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Of course, George W. Bush was a climate change denier, while Gore was sounding the alarm about climate change, and that is a very important subject. But I don’t believe in Al Gore, who now supports Barack Obama. I don’t believe in the corporatocracy. Why does May?
I’d like to point her to this article (I’m not a fan of our rightwing Green Party at all.), not because it shows conclusively that Gore and May are part of or supportive of the corporatocracy - I’m sure they’d pooh pooh the idea - but just to take a bit of the wind out of her sails.
