I guess the confusion comes from the fact that left-leaning

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.

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

You agreed with Shortwave on the issue, and HE said that Gore "invented

Who's quoted opinions above do you disagree with?

Third graders know the correct word is "whose".

Third graders also like to try to dissuade someone by little cheap
shots. Especially when they don't have anything else to back up their
views. I'm a busy man, I don't proofread my newsgroup posts. I'm glad
you have the time to do so.

Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom?

Dr. Lindzen at MIT.

You can agrue and throw quotes at each other till the cows come home.
As an impartial observer (ie non-American) I can tell you that around
here it is a common joke that Al Gore claims he invented the internet.
That's the fact of the matter, despite what the truth may be.

Most Canadians that I have talked to about it like Al Gore, think he's
smart, believe he actually won the election in 2000 and know that he
probably misspoke or was misquoted about "inventing" the internet.

But if you say the name "Al Gore" just about anywhere in the world, you
will either get blank looks or "Ain't that the guy who actually won the
first election against GWB and thinks he invented the internet?"

Sorry Mr. Gore, but that's just the way it is.

And we don't get Rush's show up here and I don't even know who Hannity
is (except I've seen him spooffed on SNL)

No brain twist at all. He NEVER, EVER stated that he "invented the

Most scholars on the subject credit him with doing so.

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.

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

you about which of those do you not believe, were about a statement

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.

And Gore took piles and piles and piles of money from the telecomm

Reggie,

The only problem with giving all of the credit to the government or
government sponsored organizations is that they wanted to keep the
Internet as a research tool only and keep the commercial interests
locked out So, the compercial interests build the the Internet outside
the government organizations and . If it was not for companies like PSI,
UUNet, CISCO, Bay Networks, 3Com, and the other countless bullitn boards
and commercial equipment manufactures the Internet would still be a
government sponsered and controlled beaureaucratic choke point. 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.

Yes, but the commercial interested needed someone to push it through the
govt. and the bureaucrats, and Al Gore had the political knowledge and
political power to do it. If Al Gore didn't do it someone else would
have eventually jumped on the bandwagon, but the truth is he is the
person who pushed it through.

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

Gee, terrific job proving your point......not!
But, your credibility, if you had any, is certainly getting a workout.
Keep up the good work!

Sort of like "Mission accomplished!"



Which is "internet" comment was one.

Isn't that interesting? And yet, the simpleminded still hang onto his
mistake like a pacifier.

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.

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.

Hold on!!!! Just a few posts ago, you chastised me for not following
the TITLE OF THIS THREAD.......what does your above diatribe have to do
with this thread?


Will you dummies STFU already. Who really cares about what Gore may or may
not have said.

Keeerist!
