Al Gore on the System and Its Trap

Terrific post up on Al Gore at The Situationist, showing how he totally gets how totally screwed up the system is and how totally pointless it is to “work through” that system to get any real change done. Wonderful quotes. The sad thing is that he’s right, that his real power is being outside that system showing how screwed up it is, but that BOTH political parties are failures and that, as he says, the people we’re thinking about electing, even the good ones, are products and part of that system and, like fish who don’t know they’re underwater, have shown little ability to even understand that they are trapped.
