Maybe its just me but Gore seems so much more enjoyable to watch now. He still has that goofy Goreness (which never really botherd me) that everyone always attacks him for; but now a days he seems a little more fired up. Like I said maybe its just me.

Gore hits culture's reliance on television - Wednesday, 11/12/03: "Gore, speaking on ''Media and Democracy'' at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, told attendees that the decline of newspapers as the country's dominant method of communication leaves average Americans without an outlet for scholarly debate.

''Our democracy is suffering in an age when the dominant medium is not accessible to the average person and does not lend itself most readily to the conveyance of complex ideas about self-governance,'' Gore said. ''Instead, it pushes toward a lowest common denominator.''"

"Gore said a remedy to television's dominance may be the Internet, a ''print-based medium that is extremely accessible to the average person.''"
