Real Life Prophet Intro

When most people hear the word prophet what comes to mind is religious figures such as Jesus or Mohammed or fictional characters such as Neo or Obi-won. The truth is that there are many real life prophets out in the world who are striving to spread their messages to the ignorant masses. One of these prophets is Al Gore. Al Gore has been trying to spread his message about the collapsing state of the environment since he was in high school: “As I was entering high school, my mother was reading 'Silent Spring' and the dinner table conversation was about pesticides and the environment.” (Al Gore, WASHINGTON TALK; Greening of Democrats: An 80's Mix of Idealism And Shrewd Politics) Since then Al Gore has been fighting for the environment through published articles and the movie An Inconvenient Truth. When in office Al Gores primary ignorant masses which he was trying to convince were other politicions, but once he was out of office his masses became the entire world. “The people of the world […] can make all the difference.”
