If Al Gore was really aiming to tell the public about the dire state of the environment [don't get me wrong; I do believe that we, as humans, need to take better care of our planet], he would have shown the documentary on PBS or another channel that can accessed by both people of a very wealthy background and people who are struggling to have a 12 inch TV. What sells in the box offices? Pure, unadulterated action and drama. I firmly believe that "An Inconvenient Truth" is full of completely over-exaggerated ideas [mind you, I do believe in the effects of global warming] and countless half-truths. "An Inconvenient Truth" reminds me too much of a global warming version of "The Day After Tomorrow" for me to believe it.

That, and the fact that if Al Gore can talk all that shit about global warming and still drive around with a Cadillac Escalade, I can buy 5 Hummers and have them chug gas all I want. Bah. Liberals. [omg I said the L word! LMAO j/k].

And to answer your question, how exactly would I know the government is lying to me? Because of some ass who decides to make a movie out of some "idea" he may or may not have thought of while smoking some really bad weed? If there was a real way of discerning that the government was lying to the public via official documents and actual, physical evidence [not a blurry 3 seconds of film in which GWB may be killing and sucking the blood out of a human baby OR merely petting a dog]. I'm not going to believe some movie telling me "OMG...THE GOV'T IS TOTALLY LYING TO YOUUUU" while giving me abstract evidence that seems to melt down once one actually reads books.

Just my two cents, once again.
