Yesterday, after attending a couple of hearings on the hill regarding genocide and mass atrocities in Africa, I happened upon a Climate Crisis Action Day rally in front of the Capitol building to support the permanent protection of areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by taking action to stop the effects of global warming. A variety of representatives from both the House and Senate gave compelling speeches to support initiatives that would end the climate crisis we currently find ourselves in. As I was leaving the area of the rally there was an older gentleman selling shirts, bumper stickers, and buttons with slogans like “America Needs Al Gore 2008”. I, after pulling out the entire contents of my briefcase in my search for a dollar, bought one of his buttons, hoping that my dollar would be the one that would push Mr. Gore over the edge, forcing him to throw his hat into the next presidential race.
