Scumbria, Albert Einstein appeared to not be very sharp to his teachers. Heck, my sixth grade teacher told my parents that I wasn't very bright. I think you are getting absurd here. It is one thing to be bored in a grade school for a genius, it is something completely different to make that claim for a man of only slightly better than a mediocre mind. In his high school, Gore ended 25th of 51. He received C's in calculus in his high school. He made sure that he took no math in college, knowing his potential. He got D and C- in Natural Sciences. And we are talking Harvard, not some community college, where a genius could in fact get bored. Maybe without his father being a Senator, he would have ended up in a community college, where he probably belonged. His graduate studies went nowhere, as he couldn't complete his courses, and ended up with incompletes and Fs. This is not a picture of a sharp man with huge intellect. This is a picture of a very ordinary person, or a very confused young man. I don't know which one it is, but let's just put this Al Gore the Scholar nonsense to rest. Joe
