Al Gore
I wrote newspaper articles professionally for seven years, and I love newspapers.
Al Gore

Al Gore
I was born a poor black child.
Al Gore

Al Gore
John McCain is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue the same policies over again? Hey, I believe in recycling but that's ridiculous.
Al Gore
There's an old African proverb that says If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. We have to go far - quickly. And that means we have to quickly find a way to change the world's consciousness about exactly what we're facing, and why we have to work to solve it.
Al Gore

Al Gore
