It is a crazy world we live in where someone who gives a speech about something gets credit right up there with people who actually did something. [that goes for both issues]Ivan Seeking said:The people who invented the internet give Gore credit, but that's not good enough for our nay-sayers. Of course not.
I remember him constantly talking about the information super-highway way back before most people knew what it even could be.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing your hatred to blind your minds. Hasn't this sort of nonsense done enough damage? After giving us Bush, I would think that you might have learned something.
I can understand not liking a candidate, but these constant denials of basic truth are just too much to believe.
If you break it down, Gore basically won a Nobel Prize for making a movie about another guy who won a Nobel Prize.
And for the record, I don't hate Gore, I only mildy dislike him. Bhillary, on the other hand, I loathe.
[edit] Btw, this is a reflection of a difference betwen liberals and conservatives. Conservatives, being for limited government, don't tend to give government credit for much of anything, whether it be the spectacularly good economy of the past 20 years or the development of the internet. Liberals give credit to their favorite politician - so Gore gets credit for the internet, Clinton gets credit for the economy of the mid-90s (and no blame for the crash that happened before he left office), and Bush gets no credit for the great economy of today. For me to actually give someone credit for something, they actually have to do something.
