Cav's Place

Apparently there are rumors that Al Gore might run for presidency after all. More of a supposition than a rumor actually, but it made me wonder whether I’d think less of him if he did. And the answer is… I honestly don’t know.
I’ll say that I trust him more than just about any other politician, but he is a politician… I might even trust him when he says that he didn’t become an environmentalist to boost his political career but became a politician to increase awareness about environmental issues, but one can never be sure.

Yet, I don’t think the reason really matters. What matters is what will get done, not why. I might be a little disappointed that he didn’t keep his word when he said he won’t run, but, if he does, may that be the biggest promise he will break, because he really will be in a position to change the world and an environmentalist in such a position is desperately needed.

One has to wonder how would the world look like now if he would have won the US elections in 2000…
