My reading of Ann Coulter's weekly column planted this thought in my head.
Einstein basically conceived and expressed much of the true scientific theory of quantum mechanics, right?
Once put to paper, Einstein set about testing his theories in possibly the most honest method of which I have ever heard:
He asked other scientists to present to him their objections to his theory!
Not only that, but he placed himself in the role of a skeptic of his own work!
One thing he most assuredly didn't do is present his case and then claim self-righteously that 'there was no longer any debate' on the subject of quantum mechanics and that he was 'right'.
Einstein was willing to subject his work to whatever scrutiny that was necessary to verify that he was right, even if he had to question himself on his theory.
In this instance, as in so many instances, Albert Gore could learn a great deal from the intellectually honest example set by Albert Einstein.
In fact, I can think of only one subject in which Gore could teach Einstein:
Hypocrisy.

Agreed.
And I daresay that Einstein had far more reason to be condescending towards other folks than did the man who flunked divinity school....
