"Sean Corbett" wrote in message ... You wrote: Sean Corbett wrote: You wrote: Sean Corbett wrote: You wrote: Sean Corbett wrote: You wrote: "basskisser" wrote in message oups.com... 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. Reload your headers. You're severely mistaken about this thread. This PORTION of the thread is about people who pretend not to know that Gore used a lousy choice of words. |

Bert, EVERYONE involved with the Internet agrees that Gore worked very closely to promote the idea of converting the military/academic Network over to the consumer Internet we see today. He cut red tape so this could be done, and made this conversion a priority. Gore saw this as a benefit to the taxpayers and a feather in his political cap. He was so excited about the growth of the "informational highway" and his contribution to this growth, that he made a minor mistake in his choice of words. We all do it, all the time. His political proponents did what we would expect, they used his comments to make him look foolish, no big deal. I hope you are smart enough to understand the difference between what politicians and their spinmeisters say and reality. Reggie That's my story and I am sticking to it. |

And Gore took piles and piles and piles of money from the telecomm industy, often the same week as big telecomm votes. That's an actual AND inconvenient truth. And that makes him different from other politicians......how??? |

I was there in the middle of it all. Al Gore may have sponsored legislation at the behest of commercial interests. And if he did Al Gore was just a conduit rather than the initial instigator. Bert |
