Live Earth: Gore's A Crock

It was o.k., Live Earth. I spent the day watching it off and on between episodes of last years series of America's Next Top Model, which, was rather entertaining considering I refused to even be forced to think yesterday. I needed a breaky poo.

Some of the acts were great. I'm a sucker for Metallica, Kelly Clarkson was strong, Black Eyed Pea's fair, Kanye annoying, Jack Johnson was great. So as concerts go, I'd have liked to have been at a few of those venues yesterday. Wembley most assuredly.

It was just the frickin' hypocrisy of the whole thing. The money raised goes to some shadow group of Gore's? For what? To tell us that humanity has fecked some shizznet up here on old Mother Earth? Like Bob Geldof, founder of Live Aid said yesterday,"Why is he (Gore) actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years."

Now if the money was going to say wetland rehabilitation.... Great, I'd have donated some. If the money was going to some direct cause, river cleanups, urban destruction of riparian communities, destruction of chaparral area's by campers? Great. My problem is that it isn't and the electricity, car pollution and noise pollution from the concert alone negate any positive effect it could have and Gore gets massive moolah to further his nutty goals. What a crock.
