AL GORE: ‘DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN HACKED; CAPITALISM IS IN NEED OF SERIOUS REFORM.’ “WE REALLY HAVE TO ADDRESS THE DEMOCRACY CRISIS,” FORMER VICE PRESIDENT ARGUES IN WASHINGTON:

 “Democracy has been hacked. Capitalism is in need of reform – serious reform. The short-termism that has been bemoaned by some of the leaders of the bigger firms in global markets is really hampering the success of capitalism in building value and reaching its goals,” Gore said during a discussion at the Washington Ideas Forum.

Yes, there is indeed something strangely out of whack when zillionaire environmentalists go running off to oil-rich Qatar to offload their failed business ventures.
