The man still has it!
This will be short and sweet. Former Vice President Al Gore was on "All In with Chris Hayes" last night and in passing he made a very important point that had absolutely nothing to do with ecology or the environment, and may even provide a of hope for the future. Chris was talking to him about his political career, and the current political environment before getting to the climate change portion. The former Vice President acknowledged the toxic current environment, and the role of Citizens United in the problem, but had a very prescient observation that can only help to give us all hope. He said that while the influx of "dark money" was destroying the current process, he still had hope for our democracy because of the transcendence of the internet.
And he's right! There's nothing like a few million mini Jon Stewart's out there, sniffing out bullshit, and calling out bullshit to throw a wrench in the works. People like you and I my dear brother and sister Kossacks! And all beyond the reach of the influence of the Koch brothers and their billions. Now all we have to do is to make sure that once we find out and call out the bullshit that we spread the good word, and get these people out to vote against the bullshit.
The hope is there my fellow Kossacks. Now it's up to US to make the most of the tools we're given to work with.
Thanks as always for stopping by and reading.
