Bassy, I really don't want to take you to school on this again.

Just drop it.
Al Gore NEVER said he "invented the internet" period.
March 9, 1999.

Quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the
initiative in creating the Internet." End of quote.

Now, do you really want to get your brains all in a twist over
subjective intent and symbolic psychology as it pertains to how
statements are perceived?

No you don't because the last time we did this, about two years ago I
think, you ran away for two weeks and never brought the subject up
again.
It wasn't the subject that made him go away. It was the cigar smoke.
What ever works. :)

The Internet Story was a major political fax paux. Everyone knew what Al
Gore was trying to say, but it sure made for great political mud.

Gore has a history of "overstating" "exagerating" (otherwise known as a
lie) for political gain. Which is "internet" comment was one.
And apparently still does by his own recent admission.

"In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of
unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any
discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't
think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is
appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how
dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to
listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to
solve this crisis." -- Al Gore
