MSNBC: Algore “Awakened” Discovery Channel Enviro Nutjob

From MSNBC:

Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

So, what other than bomb-making, murderous intent and hostage-taking did Algore awaken in this nutcase?  From Lee’s rambling manifesto:

The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s “My Ishmael” pages 207-212 [note:  this is where a gorilla talks to a 12-year old girl about what it is like in captivity and the bad things humans have done to the planet] where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order.

But of course!  A game  show to save the planet!  It all makes perfect sense now!  (Maybe a manatee could host it.)

Now you can’t see it here, but the two heroes he listed on his MySpace page were the aforementioned author Daniel Quinn and, get this, James T. Kirk.

Perhaps another reason he wanted everyone to stop having babies was on account of him being a Trekkie dork who couldn’t get a date.
