This was posted at Global Warming Skeptics website I help Administrate.I just had to post it here for the laughs.
This quiz was created by Ken Crossman
Did Al Gore say it? Or was it the Unabomber?
EXCERPT:
It may be more difficult to decide than you think.
<HR>Each quote below is either from Al Gore's Book Earth in the Balance or from the Unabomber's Manifesto.
After each quote choose either Gore or Unabomber. At the end hit the Grade Me button and the quiz will be graded and you can view the correct answers. You will also have the opportunity to view the documentation. To be fair, I should point out that while Al and the Unabomber identify the "problems" similarly, they part on the solution. Al wants a "Global Marshall Plan" with enforcement across national boundaries while the Unabomber prefers the idea of revolution.
I got the idea for the test, by the way, from a column by Tony Snow.
<HR>There may or may not be an equal number of quotes from both thinkers.

<FORM name=quiz><FORM action="mailto:76510.2724@compuserve.com" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">"The twentieth century has not been kind to the constant human striving for a sense of purpose in life. Two world wars, the Holocaust, the invention of nuclear weapons, and now the global environmental crises have led many of us to wonder if survival - much less enlightened, joyous, and hopeful living - is possible. We retreat into the seductive tools and technologies of industrial civilization, but that only creates new problems as we become increasingly isolated from one another and disconnected from our roots."
