Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) - Gore should return his Nobel - NBC News.com

Al Gore - we need you to return your Nobel Peace Prize!"

Now they proudly want certain arguments banished from discourse. The next step is book burning. So the question of the day is: Can you light a Kindle? “Is there anything more anti-scientific than scientific truths being determined by petition and demonstration?”"
