I'd been on the net half a dozen years at the point in time where 'the Gore Act' (to quote Vint, whose remarks in defense of Gore seem more politically than factually motivated). I'm saying that I remember all sorts of private use of the internet well before Gore drew up anything at all. Perhaps you'd like to cite the actual bills that Gore drew up (or even sponsored) and discuss them and what they actually did?

I want to take at least a million of the *******s with me. If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a monthly firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The monthly firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. -- "First and last, it's a question of money. Those men who own the earth make the laws to protect what they have. They fix up a sort of fence or pen around what they have, and they fix the law so the fellow on the outside cannot get in. The laws are really organized for the protection of the men who rule the world. They were never organized or enforced to do justice. We have no system for doing justice, not the slightest in the world." --Clarence Darrow |
