By any rational definition of the term, Al Gore is 
a mass murder.

He may be the darling of mainstream 
environmentalism, but his hands drip with the 
blood of the innocent.

As vice president he presided over the deaths of a 
million Iraq civilians, half of whom were 
children, as a result of our vicious embargo of 
the civilian economy of Iraq. "How soon we 
forget."  As long as we support mass murderers as 
leaders, our nation will continue to commit mass 
murder.  Since leopards rarely change their spots, 
I have no doubt that if the Supremes had ruled 
that he was indeed the elected president, our 
nation would have continued to commit mass murder.

When it comes to killing poor people in foreign 
countries who get in the way of the US empire, 
there is very little difference between the 
Democrats and the Republicans.

As far as I know, permaculture is without 
exception against the mass murder of humans and 
all other species by governments and corporations. 
The permaculture ethics of "care for people" and 
"care for the earth" seem to me to contraindicate 
political or cultural support for mass murderers.
