Gore Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
In Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech yesterday:
Seven years ago tomorrow, I read my own political obituary in a judgment that seemed to me harsh and mistaken—if not premature. But that unwelcome verdict also brought a precious if painful gift: an opportunity to search for fresh new ways to serve my purpose. Unexpectedly, that quest has brought me here. Even though I fear my words cannot match this moment, I pray what I am feeling in my heart will be communicated clearly enough that those who hear me will say, "We must act."
I know Gore has a lot going on with the whole Global Warning and the destruction of our planet thing, but I really wish we’d hear him talk more about New Orleans, Katrina, and all the problems that city is facing.
