We're buying "An Inconvenient Truth" to make a clear statement. [View All]

ChicaAzul and I just rented "An Inconvenient Truth" this past weekend. It is the first time we've seen it and yes, we're a bit late to the party, primarily due to sitter availability and out doubt that a first grader could sit through the movie.

I'm not going comment on the brilliance of the movie and the enduring sense of loss over the absence of a thoughtful, sensitive and DULY ELECTED President. It would be rehashing the comments that have been made often & earlier in these same forums. If this were any other movie, ChicaAzul and I would add it to our list of movies we will get when we see them on the used shelf of the video store.

This one, we are going to buy new. A minor reason is that new, it has an environmentally responsible cover. We are going to follow the guidelines in the movie and on the website as religiously as we can, even if it means spending a few more dollars.

The main reason is much more significant.

After having the message that we have to follow our "president" blindly shoved down our throats for the last 6 years, We want to make a statement that from January 20, 2001 until January 20, 2005, Al Gore WAS OUR PRESIDENT. Since January 20, 2005, OUR president has been John Forbes Kerry.

We're patriotic Americans. We recognize that the destruction of our planet is a MORAL issue. We follow what our president tells us to do.

For you lurking freepers out there who are clamoring to remind me that this mindless ninny in the white house is my president, I'll ask one question. Was Bill Clinton YOUR president? BTW, HE actually won BOTH of HIS elections.

Peel off your "Charlton Heston is MY president" stickers before you answer.

PEACE!
