Report from Davos
Before he became a politician, Al Gore planned to be a minister. You can still see the residual, the shouting lectures, the burning skies, the boiling seas. He's become silly--along with his sidekick, the child from Sweden. The two are like some biblical prophecy stepping out of the mist, the Jeremiah and the simple soul, fierce and earnest, preaching against the current.
But the real story here is Kerry. His appearance at Davos was witheringly revealing. Here's what he said:
"When you start to think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we — select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet. I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’"
He sees himself--and the other Darvosians-- as the Christ to Gore's John the Baptist. He is the intervener, "select" and special, a being above the fray, bringing Truth to the unruly and struggling mob. And sometimes the Truth is painful and requires an angry force by a stern god. Such a vision of yourself must be intoxicating, elevating yourself above such mundane human qualities as lordliness and lust for power.
And, of course, shamelessness.
