I agree that the 2 major parties in the US offer little in the way of
choice, as our society is so middle-of-the-road.  But to compare Al
Gore to Bush as spoilt rich kids is way off.  The Bushes are
Billionaires.  Gore is a lifelong politician, the son of another lifelong
politician.  Gore Sr. made less than 50 grand a year his entire life.
Al jr only slightly more.  He is not a wealthy person by any means...
