The past seven years could have been so different ...

... had Al Gore been President.

Al Gore's sharing in the Nobel Peace Prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change creating an unlikely combination with an Oscar and an Emmy wouldn't have happened had the Supreme Court made a different decision in Bush v. Gore.

But think of how the world would have been different.

Think of the contrast between Gore's moral leadership and the Bush's assertion of near-dictatorial powers.

Savor the moment. Hope Work to ensure that we get back on course.
