I also believe that the example of former Vice President Al Gore should serve as an example of self-sacrifice to all Americans. By withdrawing himself from the 2004 race, he accomplished his goal of ensuring that the focus of America will stay on the future, rather than the past. In my opinion, by withdrawing himself so early in the process, he has made his sincerity self evident to all who possess good conscience. Sounds like you are being naive or are you wanting others to believe you are naive? The fact of the matter is that Al Gore damn well knows, from what has been transpiring, that there are going to be lots of problems ahead and, if he were to be president in 2004, he is going to have many "hot" potatoes, splitting headaches and/or nightmares. For him it is better to "quit" while the going is still good and to look so very honourable and "sincere" to folks like you!!! <g> My dear friend, there is always more than just what meets the eye. Never let anyone pull wool over your eyes and never indulge in wool-gathering however pleasurable that may be.<g> By the way, did you know why most of the world's best chess players happen to be Jews? This is no accident! A good friend of mine told me their outstanding ability in chess has to do with the fact that since time immemorial, circumstances have ingrained into Jews the essential habit of thinking many moves ahead of others, to be analytical deep thinkers, to be subtle (even sneaky/sly at times) and to be ever suspicious of the motives of other people. FYI&I, the following Jews were world chess champions during the period from the late 1800s to mid 1975. Wilhelm Steinitz, Emmanuel Lasker, Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, and James Fischer. There were also many other Jews who were world class chess players ------ Rueben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky, Akiba Rubinstein, Aaron Niemzovitch, Janowski, Schlecter, Ossip Bernstein, Salo Flohr, Leon Stein, Aronin and others. Without intending to be offensive to Arabs, may I point out there were hardly any outstanding Arab chess players except for one Philip Stama who was a contemporary of Philidor (in France ca. late 1700s.)
