Our life is frittered away by detail.

As some of you may recall, Vice President Gore took some flak earlier this year when he visited Maine to inspect damage caused by the ice storm. While visiting the Auburn area, Gore picked up a fallen power line – which is exactly what officials at Central Maine Power had urged people not to do. The following day, Gore was featured in newspaper photographs holding the wire. Al Gore
