Re:Here's the truth. Again. (Score 1)

You're right with his statement, but the differences between ARPANET in the 70s, and what we saw as the Internet in the 90's certainly did not happen without governemental support (funding). Or are you stating that it morphed on it's own? Gore was involved in the transition from a defense-network into the Internet we saw explode in the 90's. By involved, I mean he introduced legislation that would become the High Performance Computing Act of 1991, and would lead to what he referred to as The Information Superhighway. So my point is that his statement was wrong, but his role in the evolution of the Internet we use today should not be diminished because of that statement. It would be akin to judging any politician's career by one incident (oh wait, WE ALL already do that!).
