Russel, As for Mr Environment, his record has a nice big blemish. A mine that Al Gore owns in his home state of Tennessee has been cited several times by the EPA for polluting the nearby river. I'll have to find all the details, but it is worth looking into.

I cannot read this quote any other way. "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." The rest of the quote claims to have done much for businesses and the environment. I'm not familiar with his full legislative record, but he has done much for the environment. I'm not sure about businesses. Maybe he really helped those located in Tennessee. I can't help but remember that the vast majority of the technologies of the Internet were created before 1977. ===== Russel Madere Senior Software Engineer Turbo Squid, Inc. http://www.turbosquid.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Howard Owens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:01 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Bush's Mid East Policy > > > \ > > Al Gore never said he created the Internet.
