Tsk, tsk America

Just reading in Forbes Magazine that of the three top selling vehicles in the US are three pickups and no hybrids. I guess I shouldn't be shocked. Living in Europe is definitely starting to color my point of view on the environment and social justice. Increasingly, it's apparent that America just doesn't get it.

I was lucky enough to attend a conference last week on corporate social responsibility in which Al Gore was the keynote speaker. The man who used to be the next president of the United States was brilliant as they say here. If every person in the country could personally hear his message, we would solve the global warming problem tomorrow. Very inspiring. And, he hinted that there may be some surprised form the WH later this year. He was there last Monday to be honored for his Nobel prize.
