All Americans need to put aside their petty political differences and begin to do something that may help divert a terrible tragedy for our children. This is an important documentary motion picture that has shown Al Gore in a very passionate role as he lectures on the crisis that is very much with us.

Had the supreme court not elected Bush as president, I often wonder what kind of world we'd be living in today. In any way it would have to be a better world.
