Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal. The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. |

Al Gore is, of course, free to buy any house that he can afford, as
would be anyone else. But that purchase would not really increase my esteem for Al Gore. One of the reasons why I admire Warren Buffett, is that the house where he lives, is very modest and is appraised at $700k, if I recall correctly. He has another house in Laguna Beach, CA, but even that one is only worth 2-3 million or so. Considering that he could own any house in the world, his modesty is impressive. He says that he simply does not need a bigger house, which is probably true. i |

Where I have a problem is how he and his ilk cry and whine about global warming. How it is caused by people buying huge homes and not being "green" about the vehicles and energy they use. Then what does this paragon of green do? Buys a huge home so he is near his pals in California as well as a huge home in Tennessee.

Not that I'm a big fan of carbon footprints and such but do you think Mr. Buffet and his choice of dwellings might just a bit more ecological than Al Gores? I also love the high pay WB provides for his board of directors. Similarly modest. Actually very modest, 1 dollar a year iirc. The board is comprised of investors in BH. Wes |

Al Gore's House Uses 20 Times More Electricity than Average Is it true that Al Gore's mansion uses significantly more energy than the typical home? Is this true? Tale of Two Houses House #1 A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400 per month. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South. House #2 Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape. HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of the 'Environmentalist' Al Gore. HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. It is the residence of the Ex-President of the United States, George W. Bush. So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it is truly an "Inconvenient Truth." A: The main claim in a chain e-mail was true when the original message began making the rounds in 2007. Since then, the Gores have made several changes to their home. This e-mail has been circulating since 2007, the year former Vice President Al Gore's documentary on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Oscar. It was basically accurate then. Gore's Nashville mansion consumed a large amount of energy compared with the national average, and President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, had several environmentally friendly features. The Internet myth-busting site Snopes.com wrote about this e-mail and a similar one two years ago, finding that the main messages were true. The Associated Press reviewed the Gores' energy bills and reported that the family consumed 191,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006. This was considerably more than the amount of electricity used by the typical house in Nashville, about 15,600 kilowatt-hours a year. -- "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |

He can't just buy a house he wants because he likes it because he's an environmentalist. Oh, if only he could be anti environment like Dick Cheney. Then he could buy anything and none of you would say a word about it. Oh wait, you'd find something negative to say about Gore no matter what he did. I forgot.

And can you point us to some posts where you insisted that Bush should spend some time on the front lines on account of his starting a war? Of course not, so your beefs about Gore are little more than an advertisement of your double standards and shallow thinking. No problem, we respect your freedom of worship. LOL You've become as transparently phony as gummy. Remember writing "I've killfiled Wayne" less than a month ago? http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...206b39c43fc70b No doubt you've read every word I've written since then. So what gummeresque nonsense excuse will you pen to rationalize your reply? Or will you man-up and simply admit that the killfile statement was more of the BS that you've become increasingly comfortable writing? Wayne |

And can you point us to some posts where you insisted that Bush should spend some time on the front lines on account of his starting a war? Of course not, so your beefs about Gore are little more than an advertisement of your double standards and shallow thinking. In other words, you support and admire his flagrently consumptive behavior. Gottit! Seriously, is that the best you can do? Put words in my mouth, and refuse to explain how you can be reading and responding to someone you claim to have killfiled? Gosh, what a mystery that I don't think much of you, eh? Wayne |

Conserve, ye peons, while I consume in a manner I'd like reserved for the likes of me. Gore will be remembered as one who was ahead of his time, and who devoted his free time to making a difference. You on the other hand will go down as one of the slow-witted partisans who thought that other dim bulbs like Bush and Palin were wise enough to run a country, who believed that going broke for unnecessary war was a good deal, and who spent many spare hours enabling the gummers of the world and cranking out cheap shots. History books won't blame Gore for what happened in this period, they'll blame people exactly like you. Wayne So you support and admire his flagrantly consumptive behavior while he exhorts the rest of us to get green, walk gently on the Earth. I live in a 2 bedroom home. But then I don't entertain movers and shakers in the hopes of getting them to change policies that affect millions. So I wouldn't think of claiming that Gore should live as I do, or that his guests would be willing to sleep on a sofa bed as mine must. And if Gore lived on the moon it wouldn't change the fact that he's right about things, or that nitwits will find excuses to dismiss his views. Remember when Jimmy Carter preached conservationism?

Gunner -- "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |

But that purchase would not really increase my esteem for Al Gore. One of the reasons why I admire Warren Buffett, is that the house where he lives, is very modest and is appraised at $700k, if I recall correctly. He has another house in Laguna Beach, CA, but even that one is only worth 2-3 million or so. Considering that he could own any house in the world, his modesty is impressive. He says that he simply does not need a bigger house, which is probably true. i Al Gore is a LIAR of the top rank. I don't care if he buys a huge house. Great for him. Where I have a problem is how he and his ilk cry and whine about global warming. How it is caused by people buying huge homes and not being "green" about the vehicles and energy they use. Then what does this paragon of green do? Buys a huge home so he is near his pals in California as well as a huge home in Tennessee. Neither of them are "green" homes and when you look at how he travels around it just makes him look even more like the ass he is. Why don't you tell us about Oprah's house? Is it environmentally a model for everything? What hypocrites. Go to any damn person who has a mansion and see how much it takes to run the property. It's going to be a lot. Gore has lots of property. But I guess since he's been leading the charge on environmental issues that means all his houses have to be special environmental properties. He can't just buy a house he wants because he likes it because he's an environmentalist. Oh, if only he could be anti environment like Dick Cheney. Then he could buy anything and none of you would say a word about it. Oh wait, you'd find something negative to say about Gore no matter what he did. I forgot. You're so biased against Gore that even when he does something good you still have something bad to say about him. Which says a lot about the kind of people you are. No class. Hawke There is a big difference between leading from in front and by example vs contriving to persuade others to behave less consumptively while he continues to be flagrantly consumptive. Conserve, ye peons, while I consume in a manner I'd like reserved for the likes of me. Some nerves seem to have been scraped by this inconvenient truth. |

OK then, do you remember writing this? "I'm far from innocent of banal bicker banter but I think I'm ready to be done with that in favor of new priorities" Apparently you thought wrong. But then, the whole idea was as phony as your killfile. Wayne Follow your own advice: read and try to understand the training-wheels articles on logic and critical thinking that you cited. I studied and practiced critical thinking, critical reading and logic in depth at university level and professionally long before Al Gore created the internet with a little help from DARPA and U.C. Berkeley. I've presented no fallacious syllogisms because I've presented no syllogisms at all. Try that for your first Venn diagram. Venn diagrams are certainly not limited to syllogisms. Multivariate multidimensional Venn diagrams are possible. There are other tools better suited to more complex logic, like Karnaugh maps and techniques presented by Huffman, Mealy and Moore. My question that you keep dodging and trying to deflect by irrelevant defamation of several is not a loaded question. It's quite clearly a simple direct question. Your continued avoidance of that question clearly demonstrates that you can not be critical of your political hero or even tolerate criticism of him as a differing opinion even when his personal conduct is quite inconsistent with the message he proclaims ... and quite contrary to the conservative (Earth, not political) standard you have set for yourself and live every day. You walk the talk. Do you assert that he does, or not? I don't need an answer to that but you might. Unlike your red-herring wife-beater loaded question, a yes or no answer would correctly convey your opinion while making no implication about whether or not you believe that the man has made significant accomplishments and contributions. But you don't even offer an eqivocal response to the question. It's like a zealous Democrat being unwilling to decry Clinton's sexual misadventures, a zealous Republican denying Nixon's duplicity, and devout Catholics denying pedophilia among their clergy. Your example wife-beater loaded question is only loaded if response is limited to yes or no. That's a contrived situation, an elementary example to provoke thought in freshman level neophytes to critical thinking. The trick question can easily be dealt with: "I have never beaten my wife". You seem obsessed with my killfile, keep pounding on that nail to deflect attention from my simple question. Can you show a post where I declared intent to killfile or plonk? I doubt if anyone cares who I plonk so I don't bother to mention it. I did plonk you for a while and probably will again, not that it matters. Oh, and I think it might be a lot of fun to go shooting with Gunner in the California desert. Don't know if that'll come to pass or not, we'll see. If it does, I'll give him a hug for you. Meanwhile, happy hunting for illegal immigrants in Arizona. |

Wayne I studied and practiced critical thinking, critical reading and logic in depth at university level and professionally LOL Well, either you didn't absorb much, or maybe the blood flow to your brain has decreased since then. long before Al Gore created the internet with a little help from DARPA and U.C. Berkeley. Here, do a little reading on that as well. http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7746308/ That's really old news yet here you are still lobbing the lame cheap shots. No doubt you'll continue. I've presented no fallacious syllogisms Baloney. Can you show a post where I declared intent to killfile or plonk? I already did that earlier in the thread, weasel, and you responded to that post. Here it is again - "I've killfiled Wayne" http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...206b39c43fc70b I doubt if anyone cares who I plonk so I don't bother to mention it. And yet you did in fact mention it, and then avoided any explanation. As if it wasn't transparent enough. Here's the thing - nobody cares who you plonk, but some like me question the veracity of people who announce plonkings but then obviously continue to read and respond. I did plonk you for a while and probably will again, not that it matters. Then why did you just ask me to show that you did? Oh, and I think it might be a lot of fun to go shooting with Gunner in the California desert. You know full well that he ought to be concentrating on his responsibilities rather than farting around. Will you be paying for the ammo, or encouraging him to burn up money that's owed to his creditors? Got any morals at all? Then find some spine. Tell gummer to pay his bills and that you won't be a party to his deadbeatitis. If everybody did that then maybe he'd have learned by now, which would be better for society and gummer. Wayne |

Now read this factual history: http://freesoft.org/CIE/Topics/57.htm Lame. Clearly both of my cites debunk your cheap shot about Gore "inventing" the Internet. The second one makes it clear that Gore deserves substantial credit for the Internet, and that people in the know are aggravated about the endless empty rhetoric pumped out by partisans like you. Show some guts and admit the obvious - that you prefer cheap shots over facts, and deadbeats over accomplished dems. Here it is again - "I've killfiled Wayne" http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...206b39c43fc70b Ya got me! No, you "got" yourself. I recalled killfiling you for a while but didn't recall Sheesh, it was only a month ago. I don't believe for a second that you forgot. mentioning it. So what? Where's your explanation for why you'd make a show of plonking, yet be responding less than a month later? Next time you announce that you're plonking someone, why should anyone believe you? Will you be paying for the ammo, Yes, sportsmen usually bring ammo to a shoot and share freely. Please do the right thing and stop being an enabler. If you have money to spend on gummer, then send it directly to one of his creditors. BTW, people who yak about culling and scapegoating aren't "sportsmen", they're just idiots. So don't pretend that it's two sportsmen meeting up, because it's actually just one lame-o and one nutbag leech. Who will likely spend a bunch of time hypocritically blasting the poor *******s who'll be slaving in a field or a factory while the two of you are goofing off and pretending that 30 years of deadbeatitis is just ducky. Then find some spine. I think it takes considerably more spine to stay civil Bloody hell. Since when have you stayed civil? To name just one example, you've accused me of being anti-vet without a shred of proof. When challenged you simply repeated the same BS. What would take spine is for you to admit that you were wrong, and apologize. Fat chance. I don't see how you're any better than the swift-boaters or the bunch who circulated rumors about McCain having a secret kid. Wayne |
