lets see...the internet has been around for a long time...

The Internet began as a Cold War project to create a communications network that was immune to a nuclear attack. In the 1969, the U.S. government created ARPANET, connecting four western universities and allowing researchers to use the mainframes of any of the networked institutions. New connections were soon added to the network, bringing the number of "nodes" up to 23 in 1971, 111 in 1977, and up to almost 4 million in 1994. As the size of the network grew so did its capabilities: In its first 25 years, the Internet added features such as file transfer, email, Usenet news, and eventually HTML. Now, new developments come to the Net one right after the other. It is this explosive growth in recent years that has captured the imagination of computer users the world over.

To give Uncle Al credit for talking about the internet in congress, many years after it was already IN USE (even if not in it's current format) is like giving me credit for talking about what a hot babe Heather Locklear in TJ Hooker and taking credit for her career after that.

ALGORE loves to embellish himself; he takes credit for things he didn't do, he steps out for bathroom use during illegal contribution activities (I had too much ice tea), and he transcends space and time to attend to wildfires when he was no where near the place in question.

No one no this post knows whether there is global warming, cooling, or whatever. But lets get one thing clear: ALGORE definitely doesn't know. Let's go forward and approach the subject with caution; it should get attention, but let's not hyperventilate over what we don't know. And let's not be like uncle AL, and refuse to discuss the subject with anyone who disagrees with him.
