Today Al Gore, along with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, won the Nobel Peace Prize. Naturally, conversation has turned to whether he will run for president.
Al Gore has risen far above such a position. His world has become bigger than just America, and his role in the grand scheme of things is now greater than that of a president. He is a true success story in that he has succeeded in remaking himself into something greater than what he strived for during the 2000 presidential race. He has won, not merely in some meager contest for a job, but rather in the most difficult struggle anyone can wage—the struggle with one’s self. Rather than giving in to the powerful forces of self-pity or bitterness, he chose to grow and work for the greater good of this world.
Congratulations Mr. Gore and Thank You!
The Rude Pundit had some notably non-rude things to say on this matter.
