Talk about hypocrisy!
Hardcore environmentalist and the man behind An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore, is apparently not following what he preaches.
Gore has taken steps this past year to make his Tennessee home more energy-efficient. However, it looks like the OPPOSITE took place.
According to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, Gore's home energy use has risen by more than 10% over the past year!
The amount of energy used in his home during the past year could have powered about 232 homes in the US for an entire month!
Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, says "A man's commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home. Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption."
Shortly after the Tennessee Center for Policy Research first exposed Gore's home energy use, the former VP tried to quickly make changes to his home energy consumption.
Gore installed a geothermal system, solar panels, replaced the home's ductwork and windows, and even added energy efficient light-bulbs.
However, his new and energy efficient looking house is now waisting even more power.
How is that possible????
Gore was originally burning up an average of 17,768 kWh per month, which is 1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations. The energy consumption costs him $16,533.
According to the Energy Information Administration, the average American household consumes only 11,040 kWh in an entire year. That's over 6,000 kWh less than Gores uses in a month!
TCPR President Johnson, added, "Actions speak louder than words, and Gore's actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity. Gore is exploiting the public's concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile."
The reason for those comments?
When the film An Inconvenient Truth was released in 2007, Gore won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. He also won a Grammy, an Oscar, and the Nobel Peace Prize.
It seems Gore's made quite a lot of money promoting for a greener environment.
He made an estimated extra $100 million last year.
What do U think Al Gore should do about his extreme energy use?

Give him a break, no one knows the whole story-maybe his electric car is effecting the electric bill, no one really knows and hes made an effort and trying to make a difference which is more than most people can say -and i think its a bit premature to start calling him a hypocrit just yet, lets hear the whole story.
I wish you used proper grammar on a regular basis.
"However, his new and energy efficient looking house is now **waisting** even more power."
I enjoy this blog but somehow feel stupid after reading it. Now that you're making decent money through this website, you should invest in a proofreader or an editor to help you to gain credibility.
Gore did NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT win an Oscar….An Inconvenient Truth won for Best Documentary, but Gore wasn't even nominated..it would be like if American Idol won an Emmy..Ryan Seacrest would not get an emmy….gore was just the fucking host
Re: Becky –
Hybrids are another joke. It takes MORE resources to build that car than what they are supposed to save. You're better off with a regular Honda Civic.
It says he's using more energy but it doesn't say where that energy is coming from. If he's using more energy but all that energy is coming from the solar panels he installed then he's still living greener then the average American. I think the exact source of all this energy he's using has to be known before we pass judgment based on his wattage alone.
I hope this finally exposes all these hypocrite liberals. Guess what, people? Man-made global warming is a huuuuge scam and this proves it. Yes, we've had slight warming on earth in the last few years but it hasn't been caused by humans, it's a result of sun spots and proof of that is that all the other planets in our solar system have had an increase in average temperatures. Al Gore was super, super bitter when he lost in 2000 and he brainstormed for a long time to come up with a way to punish the American people and the man-made global warming scam is the result. He wants us to conserve and sacrifice to the point that it becomes incredibly painful. He wants us to dramatically cut back our quality of life to punish us in the name of a movement that he created, which is total bullshit. Professional climate people took him seriously at first and studied what he proposed and the vast majority have rejected his claims and have confirmed that it's bunk. If you're still not convinced, look at the carbon credit scam that has spawned from the man-made global warming scam. Guess who profits from the general public buying carbon credits??? Gore!! It's all royal bullshit, folks. Burn as much gas and use as much power as you want. Don't let conman Gore affect you in any way!!
Re: Blunt –
Thank you, someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
he buys carbon credits to offset his ecofootprint. which is what he asks others who use lots of energy to do.
change doesnt happen over night. he also moved his offices into his home!
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, is an extreme right wing group that is distorting the facts for political gain.
As a former U.S. vice president, Mr. Gore's energy consumption is greatly affected by security concerns that other citizens do not have to take into consideration. Specifically: He has round-the-clock secret service protection including survalance cameras that are mandated by his security detail. His home is also a place of business. It is where he holds staffing meetings and greets many visitors.
Please take these and other facts into consideration when right wing types try to smear this good man's name.
Hey Al gore invented the internet and he invented global warming.
What a bunch of crap global warming nice way to make more money.
Al Gore + Barrack Osama= Douche bags
Perez–don't succumb to the lame trash tactics of the republicans. Don't you think this story leaking is a tad convenient considering Gore formally endorsed Obama for President a few days ago?
McCain's camp needs to make Gore look as bad as possible–since Gore is the current poster child for the environment and McCain is trying to be an environmental candidate. McCain NEEDS to discredit Gore in any way he can to try and claim the votes of that group–not that he will.
I love that you talk politics but you have a powerful tool and should know better than to run this kind of bullshit press coverage in an election year.
What Perez and others fail to mention is that Gore's house is more than just his home. Both he and Tipper have offices there where they and members of their staffs work. His house is also a great deal larger than the average American house. Compare apples to apples before you start calling names.
While I respect his efforts to educate the public, he undermines those efforts with such hypocrisy. People will see this and say, "Oh, it must really be a hoax," which it is not. It is real and it would benefit everyone to take steps to make the earth healthier for the future generations. He should take his own medicine and practice what he preaches. This is why I hate politicians!
While I am never a Gore defender, I am sure the changes he has made in the public's behavior has well outweighed his increase in energy use.
Further, perhaps some of the energy efficient upgrades he has made in his home use more energy to build, and much less in the long-run.
Well, for starters, his house is probably about 15 times the size of your adverage American home, therefore it will burn a lot more electricity. He is still an asshole, though.
OMG Perez, do you really believe this negative republican hype? For God sake get a clue.
This man has done so much good for the whole world. He has dedicated his life to saving this planet.
You have a lot of nerve Perez.
i love how people try to defend gore. He's a big boy and he knows that he's a phony. it's not a cover up or propaganda…like everyone else in the universe, we all like to waste electricity and gas. we leave our ACs blasting in the summer and drive our SUVs to the corner b/c we're too lazy to walk. this guy made tons of money by taking advatange of people…it happens time and time again…why are people surprised and try to defend him? he IS a hypocrite…get over it…he's not worthy of arguing over.
Weird, a Democrat being a gigantic, enormous, obnoxiously ridiculous, two-faced, complete and total hypocrite.
Why would anyone be surprised by this? 'Tis the status quo for all these douche's.
Kinda off topic but…
Aren't Academy awards and Oscars the same thing?
You can't really compare watermelons and peanuts. How about the comparison with households of the same size and square footage? It's not hardly fair to compare Gore's giant house's energy usage with my "typical" American family home. Let's look at it compared to the White House or Oprah's house or the Cruise household.
Please don't post things like this- the fact that "reports" like this are coming out at all are exposing a fixed media that is trying to discredit the man who just endorsed Barack Obama.
DEMOCRATS 08!!!
What do I think he should do?
I think he should take notes from how the Western White House is run.
Its sad when complete douche bag like Bush is more environmentally conscience on his personal property than a public environmentalist like Gore is.
Tisk Tisk.
Re: Anon. – Read the constitution, you idiot. We don't elect presidents, they are SELECTED by the electoral vote. Gore is sulking because he lost. Guess you are, too.
Hardly surprising. I feel bad for someone who actually believed his shit.
Re: Rodne –
You dumbass, Gore doesn't do shit for the environment! He does shit to get $$$$ and praise for his bloated ego!! His is a first-class fraud!! Stuff that was in his "documentary" was special effects stolen from other movies — it's a fucking hoax! And his energy usage got some publicity last year and it was shocking, but the fact that it actually went UP this year is mind-blowing!! Global warming is a lie and Al Gore is a greedy hypocritcal liar!
Uhm…the dude is rich. A big house uses more energy than a trailer in a trailer park. This is the same kind of attack the right used on John Edwards saying he can't speak out for the poor because he is so rich. Conveniently that would mean that only the poor could speak out for the poor and people in small houses can only speak out on the enivironment. Since no one listens to the poor that would mean that the poor and the environment get fucked. When did you turn into such a rightwinger?
I would like to thank al gore for inventing the internet.
Re: come –
You are an idiot. If Al Gore believes that there is such an emebrgency, why does he need to live in a mansion? He should set an example and move into an apartment or tiny house. Oh, that's right…he needs a giant house for his fat ass and bloated ego. My bad.
Have consensual sex with himself.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND GEOTHERMAL?????
GEOTHERMAL TAKES ELECTRICITY TO RUN. SO HIS ELECTRIC USE WOULD GO UP BUT HEATING ( With either oil or natural gas) WOULD GO DOWN BY ATLEAST 50%.
granted, the dude needs to conserve more but don't talk about his electric consumption going up when he is reducing his energy use from fuel used for heating.
who cares. instead of listening to al gore why dont you (ALL) do some of your own environmental research including opposing views to global warming. many scientists.. not ex vice presidents.. are pointing to different sources , not carbon, as the reason for environmental change.. ie the cooling that's been going on worldwide.
The "carbon credit" business is such a scam. If I murder three people, can I then make up for it by having three babies? Doesn't that "neutralize" my crime? Or should I not murder the people in the first place? I'm going to go make a cartoon of a polar bear floating on ice now to convince you that polar bears are endangered.
Typical environmentalist - does not practice what he wants all of us to do. Most Greenies don't drive hybrids or take the bus unless they have to. I'll never vote for the douchbags.
Look this up on snopes.com
They compare W and Al Gore.
He makes his own power though…solar power,etc… he can use how ever much he wants..lmao
Re: Anon. –
Your fucked up mentality is the same one the Republicans had that gave us George Bush x 2. How about doing what is right instead of blindly following your party? Your party loyalty is unpatriotic because you put the US and it's Constitution second to a few special interest groups.
TYPICAL DEMOCRAT
preaching & mouthing off about charity, philanthropy, education and the environment…yet they never contribute financially or literally.
Look at the facts of who talks the talk & walks the walk
REPUBLICANS ARE MORE PHILANTHROPIC than losers like Gore!
Even President Bush, who you give major crap to, had his Crawford Ranch environmentaly friendly as well as energy efficient!
He's a dildo and a boring one at that.
It's probably as simple as the fact that all that construction going on took a lot of energy. In the long run he'll be much better off.
And Perez, you know i love you, but don't beat up on a guy who's doing so much good for the world.
mansions take up more space which means more utilities– duh. maybe it's time to restrict allowable space per person.
this report doesn't say how he used this energy, thus could very misleading to jump to conclusions.
I need all the facts first
FYI recycling wastes energy. It takes more energy to recycle plastic and paper than it does to create new. The only thing worth recycling is aluminum.
Bullshit: Season 1, Penn & Teller.
Globalwarming is bullshit. Like the planet has never gone through this before? Hello? Crack a book, people.
Oh whatever if a big wig is going to promote be green, green, green then he should live that way as well! I knew this wasn't some dooms day prediction like they all make it out to be b/c we don't buy $7 light bulbs. Were one degree warmer than 100 years ago. So I'll see my children's children grow up and so on…..
Average people are told to tighten their belts and live frugally in order to preserve the planet, but those who tell them to do so, the elitists who have gained control of considerable wealth and power, see no reason at all to curtail their own luxurious lifestyle, nor do they do so. What is unusual is for this discrepancy to be exposed so nakedly, as in Mr. Gore's electric bill now made public. How will he get around it, when the messenger doesn't understand the message?
typical liberal
The shine is coming off the man who will save the world! Global warming is the greatest farce to be perpetrated on the world. It's all about money. The new "energy efficient" lightbulb contains mercury and is a hazardous waste if broken. It MUST be recycled, but there are very few places to do this. So in 15-20 years, when the mercury is in all the landfills, we will have more problems. Still a good idea? Thought not.
i think he should offer some explanation as to why he needs to consume so much energy. but keep in mind that he runs a business out of his home. however, i'm sick and tired of perez pointing out how much EVERYONE is such a hypocrite when he seriously is the biggest hippo-crite in the whole world. he makes fun of people, but takes it all so seriously. i'm all for making fun of people, but to call out people for being a hypocrite when you yourself worship these celebs and you yourself market yourself with no shame whatsoever. at least people like kathy griffin admit they're on the d-list! i respect perez for being a savvy businessman and for providing entertainment, but enough with the calling out people for things you secretly do yourself…hint hint…drugs, famewhoring, etc.
Here is a reality for you people. Calculate the amount of fuel and waste you created and other resources you used over the past year. Then calculate the amount of fuel and waste created by someone with money who can fly, dine out, shop everyday, power a mansion, water acres of land on their compound, etc. All wealthy people who complain about the use of fuel, other resourses, and waste are hypocrites.
Re: Jessi –
Very smart response!!! Finally…someone educated
and informed.
Even though I think Al Gore is an idiot, these facts are probably a little bit exaggerated. It's troubling that he is so strongly for his advocated beliefs, yet cannot live up to his standards. How can he expected others to follow his policies if he cannot do the same. I think people who feel so strongly about global warming should be upset with Gore rather than sticking to his side immediately. This guy did the believers a disservice and weakened your cause. I don't really care about Gore, but when I see people leaving comments like "OMG PEREZZZZ how could u post dis?! This article is totally fake, don't believe it!!!", it makes me believe you guys are the ignorant ones. I am not saying global warming is not an issue, but you guys should look at the opposing side to expand your one-sided knowledge.
I was disgusted when he was winning all those awards because I KNEW it was all about the money. Global warming is a HOAX, but try telling that to anyone.
You just figured out that Gore was a fraud…wow
How the fuck is it possible to have energy panels and awhole lot of other things put on your home and still COME OUT WITH A HIGH BILL EACH MONTH.???????? Something is not right with this story
Tennessee Center for Policy Research is a right wing org. Also maybe I doubt if Gore's home resembles any of the 232 mythical homes. I doubt if any of those "homes" includes offices and a working farm. Nice job falling for a obvious sleazy attack.
i'm really surprised by the comments here. i rather thought that perez readers would be on the liberal side for some reason. nevertheless, before we start calling al gore a hypocrite, perhaps we should wait for an explanation. after the first "discovery" last year of gore's high electrical bill, he explained that not only does he have a larger house than most which holds several offices for him and his staff, he also pays a higher electric bill due to the extra cost of energy SAVING technology which he uses. since then, he implemented several more aggressive energy saving tools of which the above article speaks. if his energy use went up, think how much more energy he saved by going to these measures? his staff may have gotten larger, etc. because of his recent successes on spreading the global warming message. as for him "doing it for the money," we should also remember that al gore gave 100% of his proceeds from the movie "inconvenient truth" as well as the accompanying book. he does more for global warming and this country than many people appreciate, which was far before being environmental became the "trendy" thing to do.
He probably used up all that energy running his kitchen appliances. He has obviously been eating a lot… look how fat he has become. He looks about 10% heavier!
al gore is great for bringing awareness to the global warming crisis but he is the biggest fucking hypocrite ever. he does the opposite of everything he is educating people about. i think that's why a lot of people don't listen to him, because he doesn't do anything to help the crisis.
Hypocritical Democratic LOSER.
just because it's bigger is irreverent!
Hey Morons GORE AND GLOBAL WARMING IS A HUGE SCAM TO MAKE MONEY
How about the Government starting to help people get on solar or wind energy rather than giving the oil companies more drilling leases when they are sitting on over 6,000 leases already? Sheep!
I hope this wakes people up to the "Wizard's Mythical Theory of Global Warming". I mean, come on, how many of you actually think Sheryl Crow only uses 1 square of toilet paper when she wipes her ass??? BTW, an Academy Award and an Oscar are the same thing!
There is no global warming. It is a big farce and hype. The world's atmosephere is gigantic and mighty, and isn't going to be significantly effected by wasteful fumes. Any meteorologist will tell you that climate and temprature patterns move in cycles. You can have decades or several years that are much colder or hotter. Shit, I am borned and raised in Tampa, and I clearly remember the winter of 1979 when my brother and I built a snowman. It was hot as hell 2 years earlier, cold as fuck for several winters, then hot again.
Re: JT – Dude, take the bus and get a job - before Obama gets in office. When he taxes "the evil rich" (you know, the ones who provide the jobs) you won't be able to find a job.
And while we're at it, why don't we all take a look — a close look — at his stake in oil wells? Let's take a look at all the high profile Dem's stake in oil, including Nancy Pelosi.
The hypocrisy is rank. do as I say, not as I do. Fuck them.
Gore just endorsed Obama. Wake up Perez, the republicans stoop to the lowest of low spins and you just bought their b.s. hook, line and sinker.
Think about it, do you really want McSame?
Use your head for once and don't just desperately jump on any story that comes your way.
Al Gore is absolutely one of the most decent people out there.
Food production and preparation uses a shitload of energy. Now look at this fatass and tell me he isn't overconsuming food as well. He emits more hot gas than a thousand jets flying nonstop for a year. Stop overconsuming, you fat fuck!!
Wellllll, Al Gorey could cut down on Tennessee's energy consumption, by getting his very large body into doing manual labor in his house and on his estate, like pushing a non-fueled lawn mower, and so forth. Maybe he could lose a couple of hundred pounds in the process.
The earth as we know it has been abused by all of us who live on it. we polute the waters everyday, the beaches,we throw trash everywhere. We don't do enough and WE ALL KNOW IT. We are a bunch of spoiled brats in a lot of ways. But here we are,trashing people who do care enough and the people who pay into making thier homes better efficient and kinder to the earth. WE ARE THE HYPOCRITES..OWN IT, YOU LIVE IT
Gore Clinton. Clinton Gore. Same Same Same
Learn to spell wasted…….
FINALLY!~!!! i've called this asshole a hypocrite since this movie came out.
people he is a POLITICIAN. he's in it for what it gives him. this story has been out for a long time. his "footprint” is sooo far out of wack w/ what he preaches i just look at him and get sick.
people need to stop following these people soo damn blindly and wake up. this guy is not the hero you all worship, he's just another fat cat milking you and everyone else.
as for you that say leave him alone, he's bringing this issue to the forefront. no i won't. I believe there are those out there who believe in this cause and actually DO SOMETHING. he's is just profitting off it. wake up
Re: perez –
Thank you! The same fucking thing. What a dumb ass you are perez.
Don't slam Gore, Perez. Seriously. Don't touch him.
How about moving into a much smaller home, AL… like some of the little people that you preach to? People like him nauseate me. If you're going to talk the talk, then by all means, WALK THE WALK. Almost all celebrity liberals are hypocrites. What they really mean is the little people should conserve, not important people like them — they have big important things to do. Excuse me while I throw up. The only one I admire is Paul Newman. History will prove Al Gore to be a fraud and a fool.
Green renovations always use more energy while you install them. The energy savings come when you use them over the next 30 years.
So many errors in this article. comparing his ANNUAL energy use to others MONTHLY energy use. first they say it's 19x higher, then later in the same article, 0.5x higher.
His house uses more energy than an average American house because it's bigger. But you can be sure it uses less energy than a house of that size, less than a house of anyone with half is income, and especially less than the house of Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
Perez - do you not do ANY fact-checking befoe posting articles. Apparently not, because if you did, you learn that the so-called " Tennessee Center for Policy Research"is nothing more than an ultra-right-wing smear group (it's actually mostly one man, working out of his spare bedroom).
.
Perez if you have any pretensions about being any kind of a journalist, START TO CHECK FACTS, before embarassing yourself yet again before rushing to post already-discredited hit pieces.
.
Oh, this is not new - these smear-cretins made these smears months ago…….
No wonder he's using more energy, he's a big old fatty fat mcfat!
Wow, perez….you F'ed this one!
Al Gore just wants attention. He picked the environment, because that is on everyone's mind, and he knows that someone will listen. All he is, is nothing but a rich freak that is in love with himself and his money. Hey, for a hundred million I would blab a bunch of hypocrisy, but then again I am not greedy. He shouldn't get paid for his commitment to the environment.
People that are true to their cause do it for free. It goes to show money is his true intention, and the environment can take a flying Fu@K. He should give back his peace prize, and exchange of biggest liar in the field of hypocrisy.

this is sooo old news! and i cant believe you guys didnt see this coming! all he cares about is the money. its a fact. make people feel guilty and they will do whatever you tell them to. dont do the "green" life. its a waste of your time and money and it wont change a thing!
Typical liberal, do as I say not as I do.
Wake up sheep. Al is all about the mighty dollar. He is invested in these "Green Companies" to sucker you out of your hard earned money. Carbon Credits? Come on people, have you ever heard of a "Snake Oil" salesman? Also know as a con artist.
One of the earlier posts had it correct, GWB's home in Texas is more energy efficient. Do the research.
Hopefully this is the beggining of the end for this bloated bullshit artist.
I can't wait until even the uneducated dolts that still belive that Mankind causes any temperature change on this earth are forced to realize that Global Warming is a myth foisted on the foolish masses by people making Millions. Including (especially) Al Gore. Politicians are amassing power and accumulating money based on this myth. Bottom Feeder "scientists" are making a better living getting million dollar grants for wacko "studies". Did anyone read the news article yesterday from some pseudo-scientist who did a "study" "proving" that Global Warming causes earthquakes" How about the companies selling sham "Global Warming Credits". In Europe they are trying to pass a tax based on carbon credits used. THAT'S JUST ANOTHER TAX YOU DOLTS. They will empty your pockets and YOU WILL GET NOTHING. God, it there any more effective way to prove our school systems are failing. I'm depressed……….
Re: Whate – You got that right!
THANK YOU, PEREZ!
This guy is into the M-O-N-E-Y. He could give two shits about the environment. His bank account says it all - $100 million promoting green???
He is a freakin farce!
He thrives on sheeple/douchebags like this:
"With what he does for the environment, and the awareness he brings to millions and millions of people, I think you should leave him be and not blow something so out of proportion—giving him a bad name and causing negativity to flourish where it needn't be. And I think you should learn how to spell. 'Waisted' is just plain stupid. And you know, so is this site."
Effin' idiot! Grow a brain, and some balls while you are at it.
You didn't really think he cared, did you? Typical liberal. All talk,no action.
Re: JT – thank you!!! i totally agree! but one thing. bush cant be president for a third term
Re: Blunt –
it's WASTING, not waisting. (perhaps it's time to invest in a prroffreeder.)
Gore's actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity
This is no news. It has been reported by a certain reporter since last year/possible longer. The only news is that a liberal has finally acknowledged it and reported it.

Re: TMV – GOre endorsing Obama is like getting a ticket to board the Titanic……the ship is gonna sink!!!
Al Gore and his family have had a large stock position in Occidental Petroleum. Fact
he's a filthy b****** , im sorry but this man is disgusting, the way he talks about global warning is a way to be well seen
as u say perez, its just a way for him to earn money and to have a place in the American politics..
HE DOESNT EVEN BELIEVE IN WHAT HE SAYS , he doesnt give a f** damn about the environnement
The issue is not whether Gore uses more energy than other Americans. (He has a bigger house so, of course, he's going to use more energy.) Gore is the pitchman for the global warming scam so he's obliged to practice what he preaches. He's supposed to cut back on his energy usage just as he's asking us to do. Yet, his usage is higher than it was a year ago. It doesn't matter that he may have offices in his house or meetings or whatever. The point is that his "carbon footprint" is bigger than last year. That is insanely hypocritical. He wants us to buy into his scam when he refuses to. Way to lead by example, Al, you fucking fraud, fuck you! And please don't anyone on this site defend him in any way because this is outrageous!!
"…but I just can't move out of my mansion… you must understand that Tipper and I have grown accustomed to this fat cat lifestyle and wouldn't be caught dead living in anything smallish." Al, do you know how much energy it wastes to feed yourself more food than is required? It looks like you eat twice what your body needs. Glutony is most un-green. BLEH.
who cares if he uses more energy….the energy he uses is renewable!!! made from the solar panels ON HIS HOME!! dig a little deeper than the surface to figure out what's really going on. seriously.
Re: Kathe – Yes pushing a lawnmower might be a thought. Or how about riding a bickRe: Jenny – Yes, but he can afford to go green. Most people can't afford "green" cars, and stuff for their homes. If rich freaks want people to go green, then they need to lower the prices of "green" things.
First of all, an Academy Award is the same as an Oscar. Check your sources you dumb fuck! The guy giving you (or whatever site/source you stole this from) is a hard-core republican whose sole priority is to spread bullshit republican propaganda that parasites like yourself will latch on to so it will spread to the ignorant like wildfire. It's unfortunate that everyday you prove yourself to be part of those ignorant.
