re: #10 Lidane

What? Of course it does. After his final censure, his colleagues avoided him, his speeches were given in near empty chambers or ignored, and his public speaking dwindled to almost nothing.

Hell, the guy pretty much drank himself to death in the end. That’s not something that a person who’s on top of the world does. Someone who’s been disgraced and shamed drowns themselves in booze like that.

Whoa, with that I will have to disagree. Alcoholism can be such that regardless of ‘happy’ / ‘depressed’, one can’t control the drinking. You don’t have to be depressed to be an addict.

So if the world censured Al Gore for Global Warming and told him it was a blatant lie and fraud foisted upon the people, would that make it a lie? I bet Al would possibly question himself a lot, but in the end it appears he is standing on his beliefs. I completely respect that.
