Do not look for perfection, even in role models. Just look for a willingness to find and salvage something good. Not many of us work to find and salvage good anymore.
No, and I will only say that the last paragraph fits in all sorts of places, like the middle east. Lots of finger-pointing and condemning those with differing viewpoints to hell. "War for oil, Bush the anti-christ, the new Hitler, American and Israeli savagery"..... no desire to see any of the good or the attempted good. Not neccesarily aiming this at you, puella. Just setting out the shoes for those that fit into them, left or right.
I personally see global warming as a problem, and I think Gore is honest in his attempt to find solutions for it, but yeah, I do think it's hypocritical to own three huge houses while talking about how we need to do more to conserve our environment.
The thing is, some people will view him as a hypocrite until they see him riding down the road in a horse and carriage. I think it would be equally silly to expect George Bush to stand up for everything he supports. Our kids should go to war, where are his kids? He cuts funding to protect our ability to ensure safer food, water and air... Bush should cut his supply of each?
Each person is 'fighting' for what they believe in collectively and, I suppose some hypocrisy could exist to a degree on both sides.... I am sure someone could find hypocrisy in every single one of us... it just depends on who is looking for it.
