Just a little note about Al Gore, I have never met the man, but I
have a close and honest relative who went to College with the man at
Harvard. From what I hear, Al Gore is exceptionally honest, hard working
and intelligent. He may not be much fun at parties, but he is supposed
to be a real good guy. My feelings are that Clinton put Al in the
position he is in now, and if it weren't for that, Al's record would be
spottless.
A second note, I HATE AL's IDEAS REGARDING THE 1st AMMENDMENT. He
frightens me because he puts security for mental midgets above freedom
of speech - something I am sure most people here value quite a bit. If
Al would lay off of the encryption - censorship stuff, I would vote for
him in a second.
