Gore makes good points but his solipsistic letter writers undermine many of his points.
You forget that the biggest beneficiary of the Oil industry profits is actually the government, who taxes every gallon. Also, the NIMBYs and eniron-mental patients have prevented the upgrading of refinery facilities and development of new ones that would probably be more efficient and thus reduce gas prices. You don't see Ted Kennedy complaining about that.
Calling Cheney a murderer is like calling Clinton a murderer for not lifting a finger in Africa (a couple of genocides he did nothing about). So no tit for tat necessary.
Yes. Gore won the popular vote, but are you still bitching about "President" Tilden? Get over it.
You want to point fingers, then blame these people:
* John D. Rockefeller and his heirs, including the Senator from West Virginia.
* Robert Moses
* Henry Ford
* The inventor of the Humvee
Wanna talk about hurricanes? Look at Galveston, Diana, and Gloria.
