It looks obvious

Who ever said that only Michael Moore can make a point by being provocative, shallow and not 100% loyal to the truth? here is a clip, which I really like, that show the preferred transportation method of some of those who came to show support to Al Gore in his big Global Warming in Washington DC.

Don’t you love the example the Gore family set? But we already knew that…

Guess who can we add to the list of hypocrite busy bodies? That’s right:

Senator Obama sends his own two daughters to the private “Lab School” founded by John Dewey in 1896, which charged $20,000 in tuition at the middle school level last year. Though he says “we” should not be “throwing up our hands and walking away” from public schools, he has done precisely that.

That is his right, and, as a wealthy man, it is his prerogative under the current system of American education, which allows only the wealthy to easily choose between private and government schools. But instead of offering to extend that same choice to all families, Senator Obama wants the poor to wait for the public school system to be “fixed.”

Unfortunately he joined a, not so, respectful list including Al Gore, F.D.R and even the wannabe senator from Minnesota. These stories aren’t pettiness, they are demonstration of the true nature of those who are busy telling other people how should they live, and what sacrifices should they make for the “common good”. They were and remain as described in Orwell’s story:

For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL

BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

After that it did not seem strange when next day the pigs who were supervising the work of the farm all carried whips in their trotters. It did not seem strange to learn that the pigs had bought themselves a wireless set, were arranging to install a telephone, and had taken out subscriptions to John Bull, TitBits, and the Daily Mirror. It did not seem strange when Napoleon was seen strolling in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth-no, not even when the pigs took Mr. Jones’s clothes out of the wardrobes and put them on, Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher breeches, and leather leggings, while his favourite sow appeared in the watered silk dress which Mrs. Jones had been used to wear on Sundays.

A heavy heat wave is passing us and in the last few days the temperature is in the high 90’s (over 35 Celsius). The high humidity making it even worse. Thank to technology we don’t have to suffer very much since most of the time we are using air-conditioning to make life much more comfortable. Modern life are much more comfortable than the past. We live longer, we are healthier and we suffer less than our ancestors used to from the weather. With air conditioning we could work, create and live our life as the heat wave was just a simple uncomfortable event. And while my children take this for granted I’m still remember life without air conditioning.

But while I’m happy for having air-conditioning a passing thought makes me worry - what about Obama? How is he doing without the comfort of his office and his home cooled to 72 degrees? You don’t think he meant only for us not to be as comfortable as possible, do you?

my 72 degrees cooled home, I wonder what the temperature set at Al Gore’s residence…
