Florida was hit today by horrific tornadoes, but the news coming out of that state that might mean the most for our futures is its lead in moving toward creating paper trails for voting. After being the site of what historians will probably be called "America's Stolen Election of 2000," the state has recently voted to establish a paper trail for future elections. Let's hope the other 49 states jump on that bandwagon. (Read the NYTimes article.)
More Signs:
Al Gore's environmentalist film receives a nomination for an Oscar, and China will build 350 coal fired electricity plants in the next year. In three years, China will be the biggest emitter of CO2.

Oops. No such thing. We all now just how clean coal -- any coal -- really is.
Gore's been nominated for a Nobel prize, as well.
