Some provocative quotes

Innocent until proven guilty? Not any more. Not in this country. And certainly not if you're a man.

The politicians offered up for us today are no longer leaders: They're clever con artists counting on ignorance, apathy and the special-interest minority vote to carry them.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands of those who feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you. May posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Gore's book, Earth in the Balance, showed him to be a visionary leader on history's burden on this generation -- the threat to the biosphere posed by industrialization.
