^^Thank you. So much gets taken out of context and is then used to smear a person. There was a huge article in Vanity Fair recently on Gore and things he supposedly 'claimed' and it was all pretty much debunked. I'm pretty sure he, like most of us, is less than perfect and says stupid stuff often enough, but at the end of the day he strikes me as a pretty ok guy (despite the annoying Tipper).
As far as this somehow lowering the prestige of the Peace Prize, read the mandate the Norwegian Nobel Committee was given by Alfred Nobel. I mean, I suppose the year Wangari Matthai won alot of people could have said a better issue in Africa could have been highlighted but she contributed to the world in a unique way, thus the Committee deemed it appropriate for her to recieve it. I mean, christ, they gave it to Mother Theresa of all people!
