Al Gore has written a book that every person on this part of the planet should read. "The Assault on Reason" cements in my mind that Al Gore is one of the great minds of our time and, as I have said before, the only true Rock Star in the US political world. Said differently, he is to the Police as Obama is to the Spice Girls (John Edwards, with his vision, is maybe more like Blake Lewis, American Idol material).Gore does a great job of taking us all to task for accepting dumbed-down and even false information as truth and relying on faith over measured reason. He does it with a historical eye, and evokes the great thinkers on democracy in doing so. It is a very thought provoking read. Here's an excerpt.
He offers responsible solutions too. But, you gotta read the book.
One can't help but wonder what eight years of an Al Gore presidency would have been like.
