#1 USCC should call Stephen Wolfram as an expert on Computer modelling and chaotic complexity.

It's his book that made me realise (although that is not the intention of the book) that computer models have near zero predictive power unless there are massive dampeners that basically mean the fancy model is pointless.

#2 Let's see - following the Scopes Monkey Trial, William Jennings Bryant lasted all of five days, before dying a broken and disgraced man. Keeping that thought in mind .......

Dick Rutan representing the forces of reason, and Al Gore representing the forces of lunatic hysteria.

And then - may history repeat itself.

That poetic justice would be sweet!

#3 Gore would never appear in an honest debate. He's a lying snake-oil salesman. A fraud, and a moral cretin. I hope he dies alone, penniless, freezing to death inside his megamansion

#7 No one can take your dreams away Frank. BTW, which mansion would you like Al to expire in?

Fast Comapny Dec 2007:
Financial disclosure documents released before the 2000 election put the Gore family's net worth at $1 million to $2 million. After years of public service--and four kids needing high-priced educations--Al and Tipper used to fret occasionally about money. Not anymore. They have a new multimillion-dollar home in a tony section of Nashville and a family home in Virginia, and have recently bought a multimillion-dollar condo at the St. Regis condo/hotel in San Francisco. Available data indicate a net worth well in excess of $100 million.
