A Convenient Lie
The word is out... Al Gore says it's OK if he "over-represents" the facts (ie, lies about them) in his movie An Inconvenient Truth, because his heart's in the right place:
I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.
From the "alpha male" himself: lying's OK, folks. Especially when countless footsoldiers in the eco-nazi camp are breathlessly waiting to listen to your lies and presumably repeat them ad nauseam. Hey, the end justifies the means, right?
