I have to say, I've seen even conservatives saying this film gives them pause. It's apparently very well backed up. I haven't seen it yet but makes me wonder when I have heard nothing to detract from it. I have to agree Gore never said he invented the internet but he was instrumental in getting it implemented. Mostly, he wasn't a great politician, but he is a very bright man. Just my .02. |

Apparently you agree with that moron in the White House? (He'd "rather be right than be popular" - unfortunately he seems to be neither.) I think it's more a matter of getting all of one's "news" from Fox... you know, that "fair and balanced" news network. Joyce |

[OT] An Inconvenient Truth - ?

GO Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. ----------------------- http://www.perkel.com/politics/gore/internet.htm Gore never claimed that he "invented" the Internet, which implies that he engineered the technology. The invention occurred in the seventies and allowed scientists in the Defense Department to communicate with each other. In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Taken in context, the sentence, despite some initial ambiguity, means that as a congressman Gore promoted the system we enjoy today, not that he could patent the science, though that's how the quotation has been manipulated. Hence the disingenuous substitution of "inventing" for the actual language. -------------------------- Does he, or doesn't he? Only his hairdresser knows. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "H. Adam Stevens" wrote in message ... "he 'invented' the internet?" Al was instrumental in funding of early expansion of the Arpanet.
