Well I can tell you, now having a very long view, the view doesn't change much, just the way it's presented. Basically it's always about money-making vs. people.

As for Al Gore, I respect the work he did on climate change, but before that he was like Bill Clinton without the charm, a southern conservative, privatizing hawk. After eight dreary years of Clinton, we weren't going to settle for more of the same. Not now either.
