Modern Transcendentalist

I believe that Al Gore is a "modern transcendentalist" by his appreciation for nature, the belief in clarity and rejection of monetary standards of success, and to value imagination and intuition over reason and logic.
Al Gore loves nature. He has always had an appreciation for nature since he was young. He loved to fish and hang outdoors. His appreciation for nature has always helped him with his career in writing and making documentaries about Global Warming.
 Al Gore ran for the presidential candidate after his term of being the Vice President ended. He did not win  the election because of the popular vote during his election. Many people thought he would give up in his political career, but he showed that rejection and simplicity would not stop him.
When he was learning about Global Warming, a lot of his supporters dropped him because he believed in something that they did not see as reason and logic. The Republican cabinet used his imagination and intuition to help him loose his popular vote. The scientists that helped him produce and create The Inconvenient Truth taught him more about Global Warming and opened his mind to what is happening to the environment.
