February 06, 2009Al Gore Compares Global Warming To Segregation
Glenn Beck interviews a teenager who recorded Former Vice President Al Gore telling her peers:"there are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know." Gore continues, "Why would that be? Well, in a period of rapid change, the old assumptions sometimes just don't work anymore because they're out of date. New knowledge, new understandings are much more widely available, sometimes to young people who are in school who aren't weighed down with the old flawed assumptions of the past."
Earlier in the conversation Gore said "And we kids asked our parents and their generation, 'Explain to me again why it's OK for the law to officially discriminate against people because of their skin color?' And parent's try to tell their kids the right thing, you know? Usually, I do. And when our parent's generation couldn't answer that question, that's when the law started to change."
