The people is obviously bias. I see no diferance in saying "I invented
the internet" and "I took the initiative to create the internet".
Since he was obviously talking about creating a single internet network
or line, as with a highway system, to create and invent is the same
thing. You cannot create something that does not exist if not
invented. You cannot invent without creating something. They are only
differant when talking a smaller scale. You can create a new canopener
that has been made before, but you can only invent it if it had not
been made, but in so doing you will have created one unit. Since the
internet is a new system the words have the same meaning.

The arguement about President Eisenhower is moot because he never said
it. Since Eisenhower actually had a head on his shouders I doubt he
would have made such a gaffe. If so he would have been able to explain
it. Gore didn't seem to have a clue that his legislation was about the
Web, and that the internet had been invented almost two decades before
his legislation.
