For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

As for Spidey... don't worry, I got plans for him and all of Marvel.
.........yeah....(i hate what disney do to marvel btw so that means the worse for me)

Given how they have Phantasy Star Online, that will probably take the place of True Fantasy though they might add some elements.
Yeah not spend that money for nothing, as True Fantasy did was inspired by PSO all along.

MCU is gonna be different from the get-go given how different Iron Man is gonna be.

Other changes will be coming. I’m wonder how else music will change, though but big changes are coming
 
Any other thoughts with music or literature anyone?

You said that Indie was a big deal now. Maybe the Summer charts should be filled with Nu Metal, Indie Hip Hop, Alternative and Indie Country Pop artists? Maybe this could be a good time for

Well, it’s growing, but it will become big very soon with what I have planned
 
Gore Administration- Winter 2005
Winter 2005

"Thanks to Gore, the Kyoto Protocol is now stronger than ever."

"The earthquakes out east are nuts. Alot of people lost their homes? What'll happen to them?"

"Youtube huh... this should be interesting."

The beginning of 2005 marked a greater sense of optimism, especially for the families who did not have to worry as much about the health and well-being of their children thanks to Medicare For Children rolling out. The Democrats controlled all the House, Senate and White House and it would not be long before some judges would begin retiring. The good vibes brought on by the Gore Administration continued and it would be interesting to see what laid ahead. Granted, the year started out roughly from where the previous one ended, with the various leaders coming to do deal with the massive earthquake and tsunami over in the nations in the Indian Ocean. This prompted a greater discussion on the refugees and resettling them and assisting them. However, on a bright note, the Kyoto Protocol was implemented across the world for the environment. The support of the US along with the revelations of the Exxon-Mobil Scandal had everyone commit more to it and even Austrailia, who was planned to be the only other holdout, had joined up on the Kyoto Protocol as public pressure mounted on fossil fuel leads running the governent. With the world essentially united to tackle climate change, they began making incremental changes while also trying not to upset the global economy too much. Of course, local problems remained an issue as seen with the two major train crashes that occurred in the United States. The nation mourned and struggle to deal with it while others began trying to get better results on it. Outside of condolences and working toward mental health, Al Gore did not comment much though rumors speculated he considered opening a plan to expand Amtrak through the use of renewable fuel and energy.

Beyond dealing with the growing world tides, the nation continued with its efforts at home. One was the new website Youtube, a strange new site where videos could be uploaded for everyone to see. While some copyright vultures already had their eye on it, a few other companies kept their eye on the site and talks were being had in the shadows about the potential future of such a site. In the meanwhile, little else was happening in the beginning of the year though many have noted from events abroad that it was possibly going to be quite the interesting year. The shooting rampage in Tyler, Texas brought back the discussion of gun control laws. However, the biggest news was on the near-suicide of none other than legendary reporter, Hunter S. Thompson. The eccentric figure got some acclaim after the Gore victory, mentioning relief he won and showing some level of being impressed by Gore. However, the medical problems and aches and pains got to Thompson and it was believed that he had attempted suicide, but ended up missing at the last minute. The shock had recaliberated him in the sense. Perhaps in that moment, he realized his work was not done yet. Bush was avoided, but a new Republican would come to slither, one possibly worse than Bush in 2008. He could not leave just yet. During the visit by his family at the close call, he saw something that one of the nurses or such had on their laptop. A site known as Youtube... and suddenly, in that bout came inspiration.

He was not done just yet. Hunter S. Thompson was not done yet.

Gore Administration- Spring 2005
Spring 2005

"The hell is with all these shootings?! I believe we need to keep armed, but some wackos are too dangerous..."

"Well, first the thing in the country of Georgia and now this, things are getting a bit tense..."

"Some more revolutions I see..."

2005 continued throughout with a tinge of violence. By now, the idea of foreign threats to the US have died down, though the paranoia remained. Namely by focusing more on the domestic problems that was ongoing with the violence. It started with some murders over in Fulton county, but then escalated over with with a shooting in New Berlin, Wisconsin and then the infamous Red Lake shootings. A grip of worries and anxiety begin spreading over the increase in violence. While the Fulton county mruders subsidied relatively quickly and quietly because of the background, the New Berlin shooting was more troublesome and then especially the Red Lake shooting. Given how the last one was a school shooting, it caught the attention. However, the focus would become on how his depression may have been worsened through Prozac and investigations opened up over its usage to children though Al Gore also permitted a more general search over the possile misuse of anti-depressants. However, another point of discussion was on firearms and what more could be done to make sure that certain people could not have access to them. Unsurprisingly, this began leading to a pushback from gun enthusiasts regarding violence in pop culture, which led to some minor ridicule. Nonetheless, there was a stage beign set over the fates of firearms, though not one to occur for some years.

Though the violence did not stop there. One of the larger scales was how a grenade came in quite close near President Al Gore during his discussions over with the President of Georgia and while the bomb did not go off, the fact that there was an assassination attempt also caught the attention of the media, especially with the revelations that the person in question had pro-Russian leanings. US and Russian relations had been declining in part due to Vladimir Putin's comments in regards to the Rose Revolution of Georgia and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine thus after. Russia saw this as the Americans going into their sphere of influence, but the Gore adminsitration had no interests in Central Asian oil or natural gas and more crucially, began influencing Germany to wean off of Russian oil. These concerns grew more tensions as more and more nations began gravitating toward the West. Additionally, the Digital Cabinet of Al Gore raised concerns on cybersecurity and indeed, Gore mentioned how cyberwarfare would grow to become a larger threat in the future as the internet becomes more accessible and part of everyday life. While nothing truly major came of this, the growing tensions between the Americans and Russian governments set a stage in regards to what could come. Tensions also came from the east when there was an assassination attempt on former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri. However, the attack failed due to poor planning and reflecting on the dwindling presence of certain factions. Hezbollah, once a prominent force, was dying out because of the lack of funds from Iran and with the growing support for peace in the region, most began leaving and seeking new fulfillments in life while the remnants had lashed out. While the assassination was a failure, it still sparked what was known as the Cedar Revolution, successful in its hopes of driving out Syrian forces. The occupation lasted shorter than expected, likelly due to the own increasing tensions between Iraq and Syria. Lebanon began preparing for new elections while the UN came in to supervise while Al Gore came in with calls for peaceful reforms and change. The two big guests were Iran and Israel, sharing an awkward but surprisingly meaningful handshake. Perhaps more notably was the quasi-snubbing of Saudi Arabia from the affairs with Jordan being invited in their stead.
