Did Al Gore Invent the Internet?
No. Nor, did he claim to inventing it either. I thought about this, as I came across some allegations about his so-called quote of him claiming he invented the Internet.
These outlandish claims came from his political adversaries who wanted to tarnish his credibility. His statement was completely taken out of context during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. His context was that he was one of the only candidates who supported the growth of (what we know as) the Internet. He isn’t claiming that he created, but from a politician’s role, did his part to help make it accessible to everyone.

Yay, an Al Gore post- and you know what that means! That means it’s time for the Al Gore Quiz! You’ll see several quotes, and you have to figure out if they’re from “Earth in the Balance” or “The Unabomber Manifesto;” and it’s about as tough to choose as you might imagine!

And I’ll bet I’m greener than he is too- even my older cars emit way less pollution than his private jet

LOL, nice. I scored like a 40%. Who knew? I’m sure some quotes are taken out of context.
