Amid increasing incidents of climate protesters disrupting the operations of fossil-fuel industries and airports in Britain and elsewhere, Gore suggests the scale of the emergency means non-violent lawbreaking is justified. "Civil disobedience has an honourable history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite understandable, and it has a role to play," he says. "And I expect that it will increase, no question about it."

This new form of expression, which began in the 1960s, was essentially a poor quality theatrical production designed to capture the attention of the television cameras long enough to hold up a sign with a few printed words to convey, however plaintively, a message to the American people." al gore

  2. #2    As VP (and real winner of the stolen 2000 election), Al Gore presided over the counting of the rigged Electoral College vote that illegally certified George W. Bush as the "winner" of the 2000 election.

    Al: Where were your cahones that day? Your civil disobedience that day could have saved us from 8 years of misery under the jackboot rule of Bush-Cheney.
