Default Can you believe?

"Calif Bill" wrote in news:AcChh.874$pQ3.25
@newsread4.news.pas.earthlink.net:

Besides, he co-sponsored the act. Somebody came to him
to get him to sign on to the bill. He was not the originator, and the
originator would have been approached by a constituent.

_gore.bill


I have no idea how to find out if he was the originator, but his name is
first. Gore was involved in and early federal effort to establish a widely
used internet, and he was one of the most tech-savvy senators at the time.
"Used self-serving language" is not the same as "claimed he invented the
internet", and its not a lie (unlike "I'm a uniter, not a divider")
