It appears that global warming is bad enough that Al Gore's children are living it up like it's the end of the world.

It will be interesting to

It will be interesting to follow this story in terms of how the anti-Gore people will handle it and try to use it as proof of whatever is on their agenda. I wonder if this image will make this gallery , which I'm sure most celebrities would prefer to avoid. I don't particularly like Al Gore, but I feel bad for his family. Substance abuse knows no boundaries between fame, economic class, or political leanings.

Maybe he was racing to get

Maybe he was racing to get to Jenna and Barbara Bush's 4th of July party before they passed out. I guess the twins want to get in some serious partying in before the Rapture, just in case they don't have cigarettes and frozen daquiris in Heaven.

lol

apple probably falling not far from the tree methinks. It must be a fame thing, cause I've never thought the one bush girl was very cute....of course I think paris hilton and nichol richie are both unattractive too.

How attractive you are has very little effect on your BAC

You don't have to be cute to get drunk and fall down.

Not what I meant =P

Normally media attention is saved for the stars, supermodels, etc who are "beautiful". Instead these party girls, that are really nothing special, get the attention due to their name(s).

It sounds to me like the story here is Chemical Dependency, not so much global warming.

I wonder if there is a higher rate of chemical abuse and dependency amongst society's affluent compared to the rest of society.

I would hypothesize that the extreme ends of society has the highest rates of CD. Both the richest and the poorest probably struggle with the same problems of Chemical Dependency.

But I think that the stress of environmental degradation can definitely be a factor in the development of diseases like CD.

That's a joke....

...I say, that's a joke, son!

From my experience...

During my time in recovery from chemical dependency, I can safely say that the more affluent avoid true recovery, as they have the money to try all the "options".

People of less means, usually surrender more quickly.
