The revolution known as the internet would not have touched you or I had it not been for the development of the Mosaic browser.

The Browser allowed the great unwashed mass of computer users to access and utilize the internet. Its free distribution (like the nearly free distribution of the operating system many years before) gave rise to an entire new industry.

For Al Gore to suggest he had anything whatsoever to do with its development is ludicrous. And if any Democrat believes Al Gore had anything to do with the rise of of the internet, he/she is a fool.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore just happened to be at the helm when the next industrial revolution was launched. We can thank young brilliant creative kids for allowing America to lead the world in the next industrial revolution. Their energy, innovation and willingness to risk everything launched sites such as SI, and with it the internet grew and grew.

Politicians like Al Gore, who have done nothing but suck from the life energy of these creative wealth builders, had next-to-nothing to do with building or creating the internet.
