Thus spake sunder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [26/04/04 11:31]: : What do you expect when the previous choice we've had was between Al "I : Invented the Innnernet" Gore, and George "Nucular" Dubbya?
Actually, Mr. Gore didn't once claim to invent the Internet. Through various mis-wordings and lax fact-checkings, the Mass Media came to represent what he said through that phrase. What he /actually/ claimed (and what he /actually/ did) was recognize its importance, and then push for funding, in the 1980's. So he didn't 'invent' the Internet, he helped provide the funding for its inventors.
