If you don’t care about the Tar Sands Oil Development in Alberta, Canada, now, will you when it spills across the middle of America and contaminates your drinking water, soil, and air? By then it will be too late. Just ask the people who LIVE around the Tar Sands, the Niger Delta, the Amazon and the Gulf of Mexico what wonderful things Big Oil has done for their lives. We’ve got to grow up and kick our oil addiction today. We’ve got to stop denying our responsibility and the part we play in the supply and demand game for the MOST PROFITABLE industry in the world. An industry that only gives back death and destruction of the Earth. Wake up. Speak out. Change. Grow. Evolution begins in your mind. Imagine and create a new world without dirty oil. It’s time to rise out of the muck.

Gore--TiME
Clicking the Time photo of Al Gore in his TN office ought to take you to his journal entry on Dirty Fuel.
So Al Gore finally found his blog and his phone–or his “assistants” did –and endorsed the Tar Sands Keystone XL Pipeline Protest. And it’s about time too. Gore has the power to draw media attention like few others. Come on, 2.2 million tweets! Where are those 2.2 million folks? Maybe they’re calling the perpetually BUSY White House phone line? Maybe 2.2 million tweeters are planning to tweet the White House? Imagine the mainstream media coverage world-wide IF Gore had put HIS body on the ARREST line outside the White House in DC. at the very start of the two week protests. Oh yeah. Would 2.2 million have followed Gore’s lead? Or would they just tweet to their twittering hearts’ content? I don’t know. BUT, I’d sure like to see it happen. Daryl Hannah got the media coverage flowing. What’s Al Gore, the man of Uncomfortable Truth, willing to do PERSONALLY? Why hasn’t he been out there with Hansen, McKibben, Hannah, the First Nations People and the youth of Power Shift?
Oh hey, Al, maybe YOU can call Ms. Clinton and get her to mention the protests to Mr. Hope and Change (not so far) Obama? Hmm? Come Gore, it’s a such a little chore for big fish like you in that D.C. pond. Seriously, no one cares what the like of moi does–but Al Gore–the man who had the presidency swiped from under his nose–lots of people pay attention to his every move. Come on, Gore, give us more!
PS. Mr. Gore, there’s this guy, Tim DeChristopher aka Bidder 70, in jail for disrupting an illegal land auction by bidding on land to save it from illegal gas and oil development, and well, Mr. Gore, Mr. DeChristopher put it all on the line to defend the Earth. Need I write more? Sorry, I don’t “tweet”
