easy way: issue every low income, welfare, unemployed, under employed, suppressed minority person a computer and internet access, filtered for games, gambling and porn sites, deduct the cost directly from any income they receive regardless of circumstances, over a 3 to 5 year period, and then just stand back.

Mad Dog, Along with the length of your post, and some computer woes that I have been having, it took me awhile to get back to you. IMO, even before you listed the positives and negatives of gore's idea, you hit on the crux of the matter. He is vague about everything regarding policies he intends to have, if elected President. Vaguery is just another form of smoke screen to me, and gives me no confidence in the man, at all. the only thing I have every heard him say clearly are the fables, like he invented the internet. It takes no "boy wonder" to know that our government is, possibly, the most inefficiently run business in the country. There are many employees drawing paychecks, sitting around with nothing to do. This has been reported by sources from both sides of the aisle, and if you have ever dealt with any of the agencies, you know that some of the "sepcialists" they have don't know HOW to do anything. If all of these things proposed by gore, are put on the internet, there goes the privacy of citizens down the drain. This will give any person with a Socialistic bent, the control of information that they so desperately seek. The only way to "streamline" any kind of operation, is to get rid of all the "dead wood", and take a more business like stance in the performance of duty to the people that pay their salaries.(just like stockholders) This could, and should, lead to less government. Less government is better government, in my mind. Somebody said; "Any government that can give you all that you need, can (and will) take everything you have." We all know the fallacy of the estimates of government projects. I don't buy anyone's argument about poor people being unable to handle internet matters, even if they were instituted. I have had numerous occasions to be in the county hospital that specializes in disadvantaged people, and see most of them with the latest digital cell phones, and talking to each other about the newest piece of soft ware they have just bought. No money saved by a democratic administration has ever been returned to the taxpayers. All of it has always been earmarked for more programs, to distribute the money somewhere else, with the most of it being wasted by bureaucracy along the way. I know what gore means about protecting his "services". The IRS, FBI, CIA, NIS, DOJ, DNC, AEF, etc. You asked me to comment on the article. I hope I have been clear in doing so. As for commenting on gore, I don't believe a single word he says, or trust him as far as I could throw the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. ~H~
