But with the organisation of these concerts, I do think he is straying into Bono/Geldof self-promotion territory. And won't this mean flying bands and television crews into the Artic and Antarctic?SandDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799646379550700816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-13866789271683484182007-03-15T09:56:00.000-06:002007-03-15T09:56:00.000-06:00I'm certain he's having an impact there, and you'l...I'm certain he's having an impact there, and you'll be hearing more soon. Watch for his 'Live Earth" concert he's promoting. All the guilt-ridden celeb bands are signing on to do a 24-hr concert simultaneously on 7 continents to bring international attention to global warming (a la Live Aid sort of a thing). All coordinated by green hero (and our former Vice President under Clinton), Al Gore. <BR/><BR/>He preaches "green" and "conservation" and then flies around the world in private jets, moves his entourage in big limousines and then chides the others for driving an SUV.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, he wants to tax us into greendom somehow. And the scary part is that other politicians are latching on to the hysteria.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452664663894833976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-69534027608828378562007-03-15T09:10:00.000-06:002007-03-15T09:10:00.000-06:00Green issues are very tricky- it seems scientists ...Green issues are very tricky- it seems scientists are all disagreeing with each other about it. I tried to research it a few years ago and get involved with Friends of the Earth, but I don't have a very scientific brain and my understanding of it only stretched so far. I'll let you know if Gore makes any impact here.Miss Forthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888591977063770894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-35621537091753034712007-03-15T07:38:00.000-06:002007-03-15T07:38:00.000-06:00SandDancer: Rosie is a comedienne who came out of...SandDancer: Rosie is a comedienne who came out of the closet a few years ago and is very active in pushing the gay agenda on people 24 X 7. In her book, if you sneeze, it's because your homophobic. She gives gays a bad name. :)<BR/><BR/>Miss F: I'm afraid Al Gore is playing in your turf now. On my way out of London on Sunday, I read that he was jetting in to meet with some Parliament members to support their recent proposals to restrict air flight. Seems someone there has proposed that Brits be limited to one short-haul flight a year, and then after that, they'll tax the dickens out of you for getting on a plane. All those emissions, you know. Not that taxation will solve the emissions issue....it'll probably just ensure that only rich people can fly and will keep working people grounded. Oh, and lots of people in the travel industry will lose their jobs. But somebody there apparently will feel much better about those emissions, somehow.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452664663894833976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-81646278962991305692007-03-15T07:02:00.000-06:002007-03-15T07:02:00.000-06:00I don't know Rosie O'Donnell at all, but I underst...I don't know Rosie O'Donnell at all, but I understand the annoyance at the constant gay agenda. I work in the theatre industry - I see an awful lot of it and I still don't understand why it has to inform absolutely everything. I read something about a Gay Olympics the other day - why should it be separate and surely that is putting barriers up?SandDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799646379550700816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-61133334014293108092007-03-15T02:46:00.000-06:002007-03-15T02:46:00.000-06:00Mmm, I can't comment on the Al Gore schtick- I've ...Mmm, I can't comment on the Al Gore schtick- I've heard about his film and watched a programme with him on but I can't comment enough about his political movements seeing as I'm thousands of miles away.<BR/><BR/>Sienna: I nearly put her in.<BR/><BR/>Heather Mills: yep, certain death required.<BR/><BR/>P Diddy: why is he always chewing that poxy cocktail stick?!Miss Forthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888591977063770894noreply@blogger.com
