Message 14661681 I was walking behind Mr. Gore today, he went into a deli and ordered a pastrami sandwich. I lost my appetite when he asked for it on white bread and asked for mayonaisse on it. But then, when asked if it was for here or "to go", he said "to go", and that he wanted milk as his beverage, and kept saying over and over again, "ONE PERCENT ONE PERCENT". The waiter asked if a paper bag would be ok for the sandwich, and Al was seen repeating over and over to himself while staring at his reflection in an obviously clean plate, "No, put it in a lockbox, put it in a lockbox." Amazed, I then overheard, "You know, you Jews make great sandwiches. We need a few of you in Tennessee. Nice to see colored people working here too. You even got soda pop made by colored people, I see. What's that right there, Dr. Brown's? In fact, any time any of you are in Tennesee and want to play golf, I'll pull a few strings to let you into where they...well,...it's just a really elite kind of golf club, 'ya know what I'm sayin'?"

Uh AS... have you forgotten the $20,000 per year in mineral rights Al Gore Jr. receives from OXY (despite the fact that they apparently rent that land out for additional money)?? That's DIRECT INCOME FROM OXY. And thus, a basis for a conflict of interest that should have caused him to recuse himself completely from the Elk Hills privatization. It is not just momma's stock THAT HE, COINCIDENTALLY, IS THE DIRECT AND SOLE BENEFICIARY OF. Btw, how come you're unwilling to discuss Gore's Ponzi scheme with regard to a social security "lock box"?? I know I explained the SS trust fund in a manner that even you should understand. Why is it that Gore prefers to spend the surplus, incorporating it into the general government budget?? Why does Al Gore wish to strip the private economy of necessary capital by overtaxing, increasing the size of government, and putting a BUNDLE OF IOUs in the SS trust fund that future generations will have to pay off?? Come on now... give it a shot and tell me why Gore's plan is better than partial privatization of SS.
