"a long post so ill give a few short answers

1. bush stole the election so gore has some right to be

peeved."

Yeah, but if it was the other way around, then Gore would have stole it.

"2.mercury can be a gas and yes it will sink to earth right

into the water table which we all drink from."

Our drinking water only constitutes a fraction of the total amount on earth, and it could react with other chemical species.

"3.for 50 years there has been 100mpg carberators for cars

but they have been bought and hidden to keep gas profits up"

If you know they are hidden, then how could they be hidden?

"4.global warming for ten thousand years then global cooling

{ice age} a many million year cycle."

I don't recall what the question was here.

"5.do we really want polio to show back up by not immunizing."

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. No, immunize against the bad diseases like polio and the like. I remember now. The diseases I meant to mention were the common childhood diseases like chickenpox, measles, and something else.

"6.polution....money money money money profits profits

profits."

I don't recall what this is in relation too either, but pollution is worth money to someone, that's for sure.

7. yes gore is to green bush is not green enough which is

best clean air and water and a poor country or a rich

country you cant eat drink or breathe in.

we need to reach a happy medium but until business after

profits stops making the rules we will continue getting

worse.

Perhaps Bush could be a bit more active. I haven't thought about it until you brought it up. However, I think one of the reasons why not is because he doesn't want to spend too much right now on global warming (especially with the lagging economy, post 9/11; I think its going back up now though).

Later.
