In fact, Al Gore thinks the stock market is "risky business." He hasn't really lived the American dream. Always in Washington or, when in the private sector, jobs his father arranged.

Spirit...

It's in his mother's trust, OF WHICH HE IS THE SOLE BENEFICIARY, as well as the executor...

His father lost his Senate re-election bid and went to work for Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum, for $500,000 a year... back in the early '70s that easily equates to over $1 million today...

And Al Gore personally intervening in the sale of Elk Hills Naval Reserve to Occidental Petroleum in a sealed bid process for $3.2 billion and coordinated by Tony Coehlo, former Gore campaign chairman?

And there is the matter of the Clinton/Gore regime sending $1.3 billion to Colombia in order to repress guerilla activities there which frequently target Occidental's operations.

Don't you remember all the violent protests at the Democratic convention?? Those were radical democrats PROTESTING AGAINST GORE'S CONNECTIONS TO OCCIDENTAL... which btw, is also attempting to disturb anciental tribal lands in Colombia...

We've been through all this before, so maybe you need to refresh your memory with regard to where Gore's lies and conflicts of interest lie...

"The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce
a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing
certain forms of lung, breast and ovarian cancer in patients
who would otherwise quickly die. It seems an easy choice --
sacrifice the tree for a human life -- until one learns that
three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated."
- Al Gore, from Earth in the Balance
