The old formula was: Find A Need And Fill It.
AlGORE had 2 million when he left office. Now he's reportedly worth a Hundred Million.
So, the new formula is:
Lie, Cause A Panic And profit From It.

no, become a corporate thief, steal blind all the people who have invested in you/your ideas usually through their retirement funds, get caught and go to Club Fed for a few years, out on good behavior then write a book.

zilly, looks like you're trying to excuse ALGORE by pointing out other(un-named,) charlatans. Not a very good defense...

I don't care what snopes thinks Algore meant. Only the weak-minded have to refer to a "web truth service" in order to interpret someones words.

implying that Algore thinks he is an internet pioneer, (not inventor), is entirely consistent with his infamous statement "I took the initiative in creating the internet ".

From the true "father of the internet" a fellow named Cerf:
Vint Cerf responded to MSNBC's questions about the Net's origins with this e-mail:

VP Gore was the first or surely among the first of the members of Congress to become a strong supporter of advanced networking while he served as Senator. As far back as 1986, he was holding hearings on this subject (supercomputing, fiber networks...) and asking about their promise and what could be done to realize them. Bob Kahn, with whom I worked to develop the Internet design in 1973, participated in several hearings held by then-Senator Gore and I recall that Bob introduced the term ``information infrastructure'' in one hearing in 1986. It was clear that as a Senator and now as Vice President, Gore has made it a point to be as well-informed as possible on technology and issues that surround it.

As Senator, VP Gore was highly supportive of the research community's efforts to explore new networking capabilities and to extend access to supercomputers by way of NSFNET and its successors, the High Performance Computing and Communication program (which included the National Research and Education Network initiative), and as Vice President, he has been very responsive to recommendations made, for example, by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee that endorsed additional research funding for next generation fundamental research in software and related topics. If you look at the last 30-35 years of network development, you'll find many people who have made major contributions without which the Internet would not be the vibrant, growing and exciting thing it is today. The creation of a new information infrastructure requires the willing efforts of thousands if not millions of participants and we've seen leadership from many quarters, all of it needed, to move the Internet towards increased availability and utility around the world.

While it is not accurate to say that VP Gore invented Internet, he has played a powerful role in policy terms that has supported its continued growth and application, for which we should be thankful.

Al Gore is to the environment as Dillinger is to sound banking practices. He saw a movement that starting to get legs and he inserted himself at the head. Nice move. This guy could water down "Perrier".

With Gore as their savior all self respecting Polar Bear know better and are placing orders for fans.

The would be better without him at the first opportunity he sells them out to the highest bidder.

We are talking about a guy would wouldn't fight to be President of the United States. No thanks.
