His presentation was halted at least twice as opponents to his agenda began to shout out. They called him a liar and a villain, and screamed, "What about your swimming pools?" in regards to recent allegations that the monthly electricity bill of Gore's estate rivalled a year's bill for the average American home. This led Gore to joke, "I don't even know if you guys are left- or right-wing".

    “I don’t even know if you guys are left- or right-wing”.
In this case it doesn’t matter. Even those on the left can occasionally sniff out a hypocrite.

    I should have posted this part as well:
“Concordia president Claude Lajeunesse was booed as he took the stage to give Al Gore an honorary doctorate from the university on March 22.
The brainchild of Concordia Student Union president Khaleed Juma, the doctorate was presented while the crowd, present to listen to speeches from Gore and David Suzuki, filed out the exits after the question and answer period with Gore was cancelled.”

    “Over half of all Nobel Prize winners are telling us we could have as little as 10 years to avoid a catastrophe”
David Suzuki sounds like he has some kind of respect for the Nobel Prize and the winners have some kind of common sense. I’m surprised, I thought Suzuki was smarter than that. Well, I guess Jimmy Carter and Arafat did contribute something to the world—we’re still paying for it.

I wonder why?
