Yeah... but you know that you'll never see a lawsuit stem from those sealed records that relate to the Elk Hills land sale...

You remember that one, right?? The one where AL GORE PERSONALLY INTERVENED on behalf of Occidental Petroleum in the $3.2 BILLION privatization

THE LARGEST PRIVATIZATION OF FEDERAL LAND IN US HISTORY??

The Occidental Petroleum that STILL TO THIS DAY pays the Gores $20,000/year for the "mineral rights" on a chunk of property that they lease out for other purposes??

The same Occidental Petroleum who employed Gore's father after he lost his Senate seat in the late '60's, for $500,000 per year (adjust that for inflation and convert to today's dollars)???

The Occidental Petroleum, 500,000 some odd shares of which, are held in trust by Gore's mother, BUT OF WHICH AL GORE IS THE EXECUTOR, AND PRIME BENEFICIARY OF SUCH UPON HER DEATH???

The Occidental Petroleum that spurred VIOLENT protests, over their operations in Colombia, at the DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION by the very "green as grass liberals" that Al Gore is supposed to be representing??

The Occidental Petroleum who's operations are CONSTANTLY DISRUPTED by Colombian guerillas, spurring Clinton/Gore to press for US intervention in the region, as well as spending $1.3 Billion on weapons, equipment, training, and support?

And Al Gore has the gall to play demagogue with regard to "Big Oil"??

Ohhhh Yeeeee SUUUUCKEEEERS!!!!
