You have two young sons. What kind of America will they inherit?
This war has to finish before something new blossoms. There's no draft — that's why none of the kids give a shit. They'd rather watch videos on YouTube. It's hard to tell what's next — there is so much information out there with no power to it. Everything is in transition, including our government. Next year, it's someone else in the White House. There's no way to define anything. It's Generation Zero. But you gotta start at zero to get to something.

Is there anyone now running for president who gives you hope for the future?
Barack Obama, but it's a bit early to tell if this is the guy I like. I get sick of the religious-figure thing. People don't question their rulers, these political figures, just as they don't question their ministers and priests. They're not going to question George Bush, especially if he goes around talking about God — "I'm going to let God decide this for me. He's going to give me the answer." The fear of God keeps people silent.

- Billie Joe On Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize Awarding
By: Kevin On: 14 Oct 2007 Comment: 108

Al Gore was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his efforts to increase awareness of global warming. A message from Billie Joe was posted on the Green Day + NRDC Myspace via blog. Here it is:

"Dear Friends,

I just heard that Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace prize for his work in the fight against global warming. I think it's great that this issue is finally getting the recognition it deserves. It's becoming a part of our everyday lives. People aren't just talking about it, we're really starting to live it. And I feel that Al Gore has been very influential in bringing this into the mainstream. Kudos to you, Al Gore.

Please do your part to help stop global warming by telling Congress to pass tough global warming legislation.

Sincerely,
Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day + NRDC

P.S. You can read more about Al Gore and the Nobel Peace Prize here."
