I guess the confusion comes from the fact that left-leaning
persons can't comprehend "initiative".

But the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do
to create the modern Internet? According to Vincent Cerf, a
senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the
Father of the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is
in the United States without the strong support given to it and
related research areas by the Vice President in his current role
and in his earlier role as Senator."


The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore
with making his work possible. He received a federal grant
through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of
Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet
"would not be where it is today."


Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia
University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political
leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could
we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and
pundits about inventing the Internet?"

THAT'S initiative.


Sean will not respond to the specifics you've provided above. He
can't.

Anybody can cut-and-paste quotes from a single website.
And that's all it took to prove you dead wrong.
Now, where IS that quote that you and Rush and Hannity hold so
dear??

Show where I cited that quote. I'm the one - the ONLY one - here who
posted the ACTUAL quote.


Who's quoted opinions above do you disagree with?

Third graders know the correct word is "whose".


Childish little snips meant to throw someone off, because you know
you've got


.... I've got what? The ability to finish a sentence? Why yes, I do,
unlike you apparently.

Speaking of "throwing someone off" - why did you introduce all this crap
about the internet when the thread is about climate? Too bad it didn't
work.

Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom?
Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia
University? The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen?

Dr. Lindzen at MIT.


And why?


Because he's a climate expert, unlike the rest of those people, and this
thread is about climate. Try paying attention.


Uh, dummy, our conversation, and the above quotes, and my question to
you about which of those do you not believe, were about a statement
that Tom made about Al Gore. Please try to follow along.
