To fix what he called a no-longer functional U.S. government, [Al]Gore urged the audience to begin a new "Occupy Democracy" movement. He pushed for the creation and implementation of digital tools and social media to "change the democratic conversation."Since blogging counts as "social media", I'd like to take advantage of Gore's new forum to make a motion: all in favor of declaring Al Gore our Dweeb Laureate, raise your hands (or tweet or "like" on Facebook or something).
Gore talked of a "Wiki-democracy" of "digital flash mobs calling out the truth" and "a government square that holds people accountable."
"Dang! NaughtyMasseuses has crashed again."

ReplyDeleteActually, there already is a change in the democratic conversation, but I don't think it's working out as well as Big Al expected. So far, social media has torn the guts out of the global warming scam.

Hmmm... this bloke certainly does not run a "clean desk" policy.
