Al Gore with Sean Parker at SXSW: 'Occupy democracy!' | Geek Gestalt - CNET News

Interesting times

"The Internet is the most fantastic tool ever brough into being to make things right and to fix our democracy," Gore told the SXSW crowd. "We can use it. It is going to happen. But how long? It depends on whether feel passionate about it and get involved."

The discussion was billed as Gore interviewing Parker, but for the thousands of SXSW attendees who jammed the room to hear the two talk, it was definitely a love fest for the former VP--a man who is clearly at the top of his game these days.

"Our democracy has been hacked," Gore began. "It no longer works to serve the best interests of the people of this country."
