  1. We might still have suffered 9/11. But not the stupid Iraq war. Why we attacked Iraq for something Saudis did has always baffled me.

  2. Actually, Gore was the Congressperson who pushed for funding for the establishment of the internet. He believed it was the future, and was correct. I remember when DARPAnet morphed into what became the internet, and the most common domain names were .edu. If any politician can take credit for the internet, it is Gore.

  5. Sorry, this shit started in the 60's. That's when the Viet Name war and the war on drugs divided the nation. It got worse in the 70's. That's when the "moral majority" hijacked the GOP. Not sure about the message boards in the 90's, I only read the tech boards. It was a good way to get references to white papers of new languages. Back then the best way to drive traffic to the sites I was developing was by using rings.

  6. You really oversimplify decisions. Many voters make informed decisions, not emotional ones.I voted for Gore, because he was the better candidate, more intelligent, concerned about the environment, and less easily deceived. I voted for Obama in 2008 only because McCaine's health was iffy and his running mate was a moronic lunatic. I have never voted for a candidate for their personality, but always for their professional history and voting record. And there is no difference between the ACA and Romneycare. It is hypocritical to like one, but not the other. I voted for Hillary because I've been following her since she was a governor's wife. I admire her and felt she was the best person for the job as president, based on her record, in 2016 and 2008. McMullin would have been better than Trump, but infinitely inferior to Clinton.
