“Ok, let me start by stating my bias: I like Al Gore. I liked 'The Inconvenient Truth' a lot and even bought a copy. I quite enjoyed the first chapter, however, I've only managed to get to chapter 3 of this book before I decided I've had enough.
This book is written by someone who clearly wants to stay in the political arena. He makes huge efforts to avoid offending people's backward sensibilities and beliefs to a point where he is contradictory and nonsensical.
For the entire second chapter, Gore goes through great pains to defend 'faith' against reason to a point where it's painfully repetitive and absurd. Ironically, this makes this chapter an assault on reason.
At another point in the third chapter, he questions if George W. Bush is stupid and says 'President Bush is plenty smart.'.
Ok, first point: any serious social/political book worth reading does not contain the phrase 'is plenty smart.'. Secondly, I'm sorry, but there is more than enough evidence to show the contrary, and that Bush, if not a complete idiot puppet, is certainly not firing with all cylinders.
I might try to finish reading this book later, but perhaps after a lobotomy or two.”
