Yus, I'm a bit dissapointed in your characterization of GORE as a
pathological liar. You probably have hung around cowboys one too many times.
I had the misfortune of knowing Texans during my stint as a petroleum
engineer. Texans' seem to want to accelerate their penchant to secede from
the Union by dominating Federal politics. Beware!

As far as Al Gore's intimation that he invented the internet, if you were to
go back to the original articles that seemed to lend credence to this rumor,
Al meant that he was instrumental in the expansion of the internet and
thanks to him, you and I are talking to each other a little sooner than
would have been the case were Al as repressive as the Texas Oil barons. This
is where capacity to process information becomes critical. If I were in a
comma and someone told me that Al said he invented the internet, I would
have enough deductive reasoning left to know that it was either an honest
mistake or a satirical response to the questioner. Don't underestimate the
enormity of Dubya's forces. What I admire about Al, is his steadfastness and
unyielding character under enormous assault from a formidable opponent. Have
you forgotten about the enormous profits posted by the oil companies?-I
suppose you think that's a coincidence of supply and demand economics.

The reason I said I was dissappointed was because you are a man of reason
and you still are. But don't let your Naderite leaning cloud your judgement.
I like Nader too. However, It will be easier to achieve Nader's goals
through Al than Dubya. Think about it.
