Gary James Still Brilliant. One of America's greatest philosophers, writers and humanists who ever lived. One of a handful of truly intelligent people today.
Linda Sutton Consider one of Gore's platform planks when he ran for Senate---TAX THE CHURCHES. Considering the direct political involvement of the Catholic bishops directing politicians to vote against women's rights AND the Mormons and evangelicals in California's Prop 8 MANY have crossed the line and SHOULD NOT have a TAX EXEMPTI...ON. We probably could cancel much of the national debt!!! My interview with Gore is on Michael Butler's blog...it's on education, but is just as timely now as it was when done a couple years ago.

Graham Relf Gore will always and forever be controversial. That's what Gore does! He stirs the shit storm! I agree and disagree with him in equal measure but Moliere was right. You may hate what he says but one should defend his right to say it. Welcome to democracy, guys. My favourite of Gore's quotes is...." People don't change... they simply become more adroit at selling themselves". Love him or hate him, the guys a giant!
Matthew Romano Oh please people, he's aging by the seconds...give the guy a break. Plus, if you've read any of his memoirs or novels, you would know his views on sex.
Sharad Ghai For anyone to claim a 13 year old cant be pimped into having sex by an adult, clearly must be living in La La-land!
Tom Wheeldon I do love gore vidal's very insightful novels and essays written earlier on in his life, but I agree that many of his recent comments have been outrageous and just wrong, like his advocacy of timothy mcveigh and comments about the 13 year old girl Polanski raped: here in London we're bemused that people actually put up... a argument in favour of Polanski and what he did
Reg Henderson I really think Gore Vidal's agent and family should try to take some control and prevent the poor old senile man from making insane comments that could be mistconstrued as him believing that 13 year old children ask for it when 43-year-old men drug them up and rape them. Please, get him in an institution where he can be taken care of and protected from himself.

It 's NOT THE FIRST TIME in THE HISTORY when THE WORDS of SOMEBODY are seen AS THE THREAD to THE SOCIETY ,THE BOOKS were BURNT ,the BOOKS were DESTROYED - It 's JUST THE SIGN people DON 'T FEEL SAFE with, WHAT they BELIEVE in OR WERE TAUGHT to BELIEVE ... ,
but THE WORDS are NEVER TO BE KILLED or DESTROYED & If they ARE... FIGHTED WITH they EVEN ACQUIRE MORE STRENGHT - well KNOWN THINGS from THE HISTORY of HUMANITY ... ,
Let 's LAUGH ....
Brian Van Reet 13 yr olds can't be hookers?
Ray Crawford Wow, I had to become a fan but I will be taking that off really quickly after I say to you Mr. Vidal that you are a sick piece of shit who deserves a slow, painful death of prostate cancer. Calling a 13 yr old girl who was raped a 'hooker'? I hope that Polanski gets sent to prison where he can be raped and treated lik...e the bitch he is. Go look at a clock Mr. Vidal! It's the perfect time of day to GO FUCK YOURSELF.
