CJ, I like to see Gore apologists squirm every time the "inventor of the Internet" gag is brought up. The point is that without private enterprise, the Internet would have remained a government-funded research project for universities. Gore was overstating his own role in the Internet revolution, so I believe it's fair to make fun of it. Not only that, but Gore was also reflecting a core leftist philosophy where more government is always a good thing if "done right." Tenchusatsu
