Gore advocated civil disobedience

It's true. He did say that. So I've read. (I wasn't there.)

I like people who speculate on what Gore would do if something happened to him. I think it's kind of fun and on a deeper level, helps us all communicate about our understanding of the man. (No, that didn't mean to come out sounding like I'm comparing Gore to Christ!)

Anyway, picture the scenario if Gore accepted the Rainforest Action Network's invitation to stir up the proverbial tar pits on Nov. 16 and formed a part of the "rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them constructing new coal-fired power plants," as he said he didn't understand the lack of. Would he be a cog in the arm-in-arm '60's-era chain of links or would he instead bring a podium and give a little speech or presentation on the damages one coal power plant does to the environment?

I personally think he'd show up in a suit and speak. He'd draw crowds and lead and let the "young people" he mentions do the actual laying down on the pavement. He's nearly 60, after all. ;-)
