Subject: K0HB Supports Common Sense...NOT! From: "KØHB" Date: 12/23/2004 11:35 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: . net "bb" wrote You've had ample opportunity to explain yourself. "Explain myself"?!?! My statement was simple and direct, requiring no explanation. Regarding the news story about Shrub ordering up plans to shut down GPS, I said this (no more, no less). "At first I thought it had to be an April Fool joke, but apparently The Shrub really IS that stupid!" Hans...You obviously did NOT read the story...or at least read it very well.... The intention to shut the net down in advent of war or attack was on the table in the EARLY 90's. That the President was reviewing that is nothing new. You and "Avery" (not me) are the dufii who brought up cockeyed notions about "mooching" and "freeloading" and "shut down GPS for a day each year". You should complain about all of the other appropriated (tax) funds that our government ****es away. I didn't say the government was ****ing money away on GPS. In fact, we should compliment them on money well spent, resulting in a broad range of benefits to the taxpayers who paid for it. Wasn't it Marx who said that it would be a Caplitalist who sold the rope to the Communist with which to hang him (the capitalist) with...??? Almost, Steve. I believe it was Nikita Kruschev once said: "The last capitalist will sell me the rope with which to hang his mother." I forget where I got the reference. Some television show a long time ago. - Mike KB3EIA - |

Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.htm BBWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA ! ! ! ! ! ! Nooooooooooooooooooo...He didn't "invent the Internet"...He just "took the Initiative" for it! Below are the first couple of paragraphs from the URL you provided, Jim. QUOTE: Claim: Vice-President Al Gore claimed that he "invented" the Internet. Status: False. Origins: No, Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The derisive "Al Gore said he 'invented' the Internet" put-downs are misleading distortions of something he said (taken out of context) during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "Late Edition" program on 9 March 1999. When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): "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." Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy (and self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or implemented it), but that he was responsible for helping to create the environment (in an economic and legislative sense) that fostered the development of the Internet. UNQUOTE The author of this "debunking urban legends" article should be spanked for having the temerity to state "Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way." The very quote he provided said EXACTLY that! "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." That was the SAME Algore who stood in the Capitol Building and didn't recognize George Washington's bust...and THAT was on videotape! Had Al Gore gotten elected and the same September 11th events transpired, he would have had us paying restitution to the families of the hijackers! Sheeeeeesh! Steve, K4YZ |

Jimmy Who? First the basics. You need to introduce yourself to the
group and give your callsign before you start calling us idiots. And what is your position with respect to Morse Code testing? Thanks, bb |

Thanks, bb Assuming you are addressing me, it is a trivial exercise to look up a call sign given a name. My position on Morse code testing has been the same since 1963, also a trivial exercise in research. -- Jim Pennino Remove -spam-sux to reply. |

It would appear that much about Jimmy Who is trivial.

Specific examples please. Show your work. The work was yours, Hans. Your thinly veiled attempt to disparge the President with your "Shrub" and "idiot shutting down GPS" rant. He's not about to shut down GPS. Steve, K4YZ |
