Al Gore, you've been a real inspiration. But a lot of other people who preach the global warming gospel aren't out to save the world. They're out to run it.
You shouldn't be shot just because someone yells, "Halt" or resisting arrest or running away from being arrested.
Governments are run by people. People can be bad.
Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it's run illegally by dirt-bags who are criminals. If it's legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be far better.
Anyone can run for office. When I ran for Governor of Minnesota, the only requirement was that you had to be a state resident. I believe you had to be over thirty five years old, something like that. That's the way our country was founded. That anyone can run for office. That you're not required to be a lawyer, you're not required to be anything.

If I can get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and be allowed into the debates, I'd not only run, I'd win.
Are you familiar with 9/11? Building 7? You know what was in there? All the Enron stuff. I guess that building went down on its own.
When I ran for governor of Minnesota, I only raised $300,000.
when I said 'much ado about nothing,' I was putting myself in the place of these particular individuals who defy death and who are asked to go out in some instances and kill people.
