Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech here.
Fuckin' A, Al.
And here is Doris Lessing's speech, which is ostensibly about the importance of education but really seems to be hand-wringing because poor people in Africa want to have books while spoiled little white Angles have books and want to play video games. And I feel like I should be touched but mostly I want to roll my eyes, because as usual the focus should not be on the medium but on whether either of these groups has the know-how to be sensible when they grow up?
