Well, since I don't really want to know enough about Al to slog through two
pages of links, how abut you summarize it?

It's unreliable; not all of the computer information is correct...

If you are to lazy to do a little research then explain why I should do
it for you? If you don't want to read the information available then
that is your problem not mine. I notice from several of your posts you
don't like to be bothered looking at available information.

That is true, just like much of the information posted here in RAH is
unreliable. People have to read and research and decide what to believe
or not to believe.

As I stated, I could give a rat's a** about Al Gore. He is washed up, for
good reason, IMHO.

Fine. As I stated, I don't want to. Not your "problem" in any case. You
made it your problem, not me. If no one wants to take the time, in copy and
pasting some of the more pertenant stuff, I'll go without. It would get
more discussion, if it was something to read, instead of some blind links.

As a rule, I don't do blind links. I never know what is there. Sure,
somone could hide some nasties, in the guise as real information. I'm not
the only one to skip reading the links, I'll bet.

I'm not sure how "look at this engine" got to Al, anyway.

Oh? News to me, if it is anything having to do with flying. *That* is why
I'm here. If some discussion morphs into meaningless drivel like this, and
It is there to read, O.K., but I'm not going to search for it.

Chill out, man! Not a big deal, one way or the other!

Well, reading through some of Jerry Springer's links it seems that Gore
urged, and argued, and talked but he never actually DID anything. He never
created a single bill that helped 'create' the internet. The closest he
seems to come is he co-sponsered a spending bill that also included some
national backbone spending in the mix.

What did Gore do to 'create' the internet? Nothing.

This turns out to be a false impression Rich. In case you missed it
I'm reposting this relevant information:

NEW YORK - Al Gore may have been lampooned for taking credit in the
Internet's development, but organizers of the Webby Awards for online
achievements don't find it funny at all.

In part to "set the record straight," they will give Gore a lifetime
achievement award for three decades of contributions to the Internet,
said Tiffany Shlain, the awards' founder and chairwoman.

"It's just one of those instances someone did amazing work for three
decades as congressman, senator and vice president and it got spun
around into this political mess," Shlain said.

Vint Cerf, undisputedly one of the Internet's key inventors, will give
Gore the award at a June 6 ceremony in New York.

"He is indeed due some thanks and consideration for his early
contributions," Cerf said.

Gore, who boasted in a CNN interview he "took the initiative in
creating the Internet," was only 21 when the Internet was born out of
a Pentagon project.

But after joining Congress eight years later, he promoted high-speed
telecommunications for economic growth and supported funding increases
for the then-fledging network, according to the International Academy
of Digital Arts and Sciences, which presents the annual awards.

He popularized the term "information superhighway" as vice president.

There's something wrong with a person that does this. It's acceptable in
a child but not after the age of ten.

Tony

No, it's not. It's called a lie. My children get punished for lying, and I
don't care how old they are.

Corkey,
I understood the explaination about Eisenhower, however it is not an
excuse for lying. But it is moot because he never said that. If he
had you most likely would have seen the left wing making fun of him,
since he didn't say it you cannot prove that they would not have. But
one thing is for sure he wouldn't have said that he invented paved
roads, which is tantamount to what Gore said. If he had you could be
sure he would have been ridiculed and laughed at.

The point about Gore is that he claimed to start legislation to create
the internet. But the legislation did nothing to create a sysetem
already in use two decades before the legislation came out.

IMO Gore meant to say he created the World Wide Web. Which would be
another lie, but at least he wouldn't have been as stupid.

What Gore said was stupid. It would have been the same as Eisenhower
saying "I created paved roads!".

Well, he did not claim that either. What existed at the time that
Gore began his support was not the internet as we know it today, but
Gore apparently could see it's potential, and that's what he was
trying to promote.

This person says it better than I can, but I have a feeling that you
are determined to believe that Gore fully intended to brag that he and
he alone invented the internet despite the substantial evidence to the
contrary:
