Keynote keys "An Inconvenient Truth"

Al Gore, you're the most gullible twit in the known world. Or are you just doing it for the attention?

Oh but of course we should listen to you, after all, you DID invent the Internet!!

Pff...

Al Gore never said he invented the Internet, and you know it. His words were twisted and used against him. It's the only effective argument the right ever has against rational discussion and debate. FUD and FOG.

godsiPod, say what you will - it's a free country after all - but Gore never said what you are quoting. Grow up, learn to do some research and look beyond the spin.

Frankly, Gore is the only person in the political arena who is speaking anything close to the truth right now. Instead of blindly swallowing FUD, and acting like a twit yourself, perhaps you should try and learn.

Of course, as Colbert has shown us, the facts only get in the way of the truth.

right along with the rest of the country in 2000

What would be really cool is a link to Gores Keynote slideshow.

Keynote can make even this demagogue appeal to some of those with a less rounded education in history, policy, and science

Al Gore did in fact vote to spend money on projects that led to the creation of the Internet. Give him credit for funding DARPA, an organization that is, these days, struggling for funding and may not be capable of churning out the next big thing like it always has in the past.

Second point - in posting this story about how Keynote ended up being the best tool for the job, it might be worth noting that Al Gore is on Apple's Board of Directors. No big surprise that he was using a powerbook and keynote.

Last note - if you haven't gone to see An Inconvenient Truth, go see it. If it hasn't opened in your town yet, go to www.climatecrisis.net and pledge to see it when it does.

It's also important to note that while Gore was a Mac user in the early 90s, he did switch to Windows during Apple's "death spiral" in the mid/late 90s. Nice to see that he has switched back!

As for the movie, it was very good. It's shocking to actually see a politician (more accurately, ex-politician) looking at real data in order to come to a policy viewpoint. That says pretty sad things about our system.

Check out what actual scientists are saying about this instead of Al "I want to be world important" Gore. Gorebal warming is his attempt to warm up the world to the idea that he is somehow relevant.

And for a guy who is supposed concerned about the use of fossil fuels, he burns an amazing amount flying around warning us about burning fossil fuel. In fact his own data shows that it got worse during his 8 years in the White House when he could have done something about it.

And yeah, Gore was robbed....by the founding fathers who wrote the Constitution and anticipated his style of politics. He's doing the same thing that Jimmy "I want to be world important" Carter has been doing since he too "lost". Trying to force himself and his cosmic ego into our lives anyways; how DARE we reject him! See what's going to happen if you don't listen to Al Gore!? You'll be sowwy....

What the real inventors of the internet has to say about Al Gore.

He didn't "invent" it, but without Gore's support it probably never would have happened.
