I’ve been working for weeks on an article and came to the realization early on that I didn’t have the skills necessary to express my thoughts. This has frustrated the hell out of me. I’ve started at least a dozen times, trying different approaches and different methods of delivery. Thank God for Al Gore. I can finally put down my pen so to speak and just point. When you have the time, please take a moment to read this excerpt from his book It covers it all; the country, politicians, rights and the internet.
The Assault on Reason Now I can delete all those pages that stare me in the face every time I go to my documents file.I’m looking forward to reading the book in its entirety.
First time I have heard of this book, I might read it. I liked this environmental book that came out in the 90s, for some reason the name evades me.
You’re probably thinking of Earth in the Balance.
Another excellent book, along the same lines as Gore’s new book, is Our Endangered Values – America’s Moral Crisis, written by Jimmy Carter. Well-written and the logic in his arguments is hard to ignore.
Yep it was Earth in the Balance. I have read one of Jimmy Carter’s books tittled An Hour Before Daylight and I found that somewhat interesting. It was a great look at life in simpler times.
I’m not into politics that much especially when it comes to my reading so I haven’t had the chance to touch his others but I am sure they are all good. Peace not Apartheid looks especially readable.
I got to meet Jimmy Carter a few years ago, and it was a big thrill for me. I’ve always been impressed with what a good writer he is. I even liked his book of poems.
I don’t generally read a lot of political books, but that Carville fella is a hoot.
