Ahhh! Ain't Al Gore's internets a thing of beauty?

[Skidmore]

I'm tellin' you if this ABC film debacle isn't a great example of the internets at its best, I don't know what is. They can run but they can hide behind their lies and money anymore--not media people, not politicians, not corporations. The power of one multipled exponentially. Electronic democracy when democracy is denied at the ballot box and through the law. The only thing is you've gotta change those darn tubes once in a while.

I love Al Gore's internets. Skidmore thanks ya, Al. Well done, you!

1. Al is a patriot and a true visionary.

:patriot:

2. This is why the mass corporate media trashed and slandered him for

two years prior to the selection of 2000. They want to go back to the good old days of them feeding their version of the truth to the people and the people eating it up like a contented fatted calf.

4. Can you imagine just ten to fifteen years ago

What kind of shape we'de be in now, small groups of committed resistors no organized resistance to tyranny, hell they could have had the camps up and running by now.

5. We shouldn't get too complacent about the internets, either.

This thingy of Al's has proven to be a real thorn in the sides of the old men running the corporatocracy. Since the day they stepped into office and used their PC's as doorstops and plant stands, they've misunderestimated the speed at which information spreads in the modern digital age. They've been trying to figure out how to but some brakes on it. They want to bottleneck the information, and allow their contributors and cronies to control how we access information. They just haven't figured it out yet, but they will. They will.

6. The Stevens' tubes are awesome

8. Yes, thank you Al

He did do something to open up the internet. I think he created a surcharge on phones so that we didn't have to pay a long distance charge. We had to pay $6 an hour online, before he opened it up, even though we had an internet provider. It also opened up the internet for schools and colleges. I don't know why his staff doesn't tell that.

The republicans ridicule him because he supposedly said he invented the internet.

Sometimes, when a person says, "Do you know how to play poker?"...another will say, "Know how?...I invented the game." If Gore said he invented the net, he did it in that way.

Or maybe Gore really did invent the internet. Who knew?:-)
