  3. What Al Gore said... on Al Gore Invents Internet TV · · Score: 0, Troll

    For all those that say Gore didn't claim to invent the net I include the following.

    During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
