Whether Al Gore's position on the environment is right or wrong has absolutely nothing to do with his personal lifestyle. Either his argument is sound, or it's not - it should stand or fall on its own merits, not on the personal weaknesses of the man who made it. That's called attacking the messenger rather than the message, and it's often done when the message itself is sound. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
