...this was an amazing conversation. Assault on Reason is one of my favorite books. Al Gore's perspective on the political issues that face our democracy are well described in that book and he uses snippets from the book in both his recent interviews related to climate change AND in this discussion with John Kerry. I have long wished his thoughts on the role of citizen and media in our country would gain wider coverage and understanding, because I think he is right. I hope interviews like this can help that to happen.
And the comments of both Kerry and Gore related to the 2000 and 2004 elections were priceless. It's what many of us have believed for years. It's nice to hear both men speak of it at last.💕💕
