1. I cry everytime I see his face. Then I get active.
It's an excellent motivator. I really should frame his picture on my desk. I'd do even MORE work.

2. The movie is such a breath of fresh air
no pun intended. But to hear a man speaking eloquently and with such conviction is a reminder of how bad the last 6 years have been. Please Mr. Gore, run in '08, and stay true to yourself.

3. My favorite line in the movie:
(scribbled in the dark of the theater, but I believe it's an exact quote)
"A lot of people go from denial to despair without stopping at the intermediate step of actually doing something about it."

That applies not only to global warming, but to so many issues we now face.

If you've been one of those people and want to change that and "do something about" the world situation, I want to help you. Contact me via PM or by responding to this message.

6. I felt that way in the beginning
But by the end of the movie I felt energized. It's not too late. He can still be a great president.
