We Can Solve It

Well, I know there will be weeping and wailing in the blogosphere at this sad news (she said with her tongue planted firmly in her cheek), but I decided to take a week off from The Alphabet Backwards. ("The what????" you may be asking yourselves, since while it causes me great angst to write TAB each week, not too many readers torture themselves reading it.) Anyway, today is hot and muggy and I just don't feel like doing anything that requires thought on my part. "Fear not, though," she said, tongue returned to cheek, "the letter F will be written and posted next week."

For today, I thought I'd share this video clip of Al Gore's latest speech. It's about time somebody said this. I've been stomping my feet and muttering on the subject for what seems like forever. Whether you like Gore's style or not, this is just - it seems to me - common sense.
