<insert scheme joke I don't get>  :)

BTW, I wasn't chastising Bob. I've known many people make that reference
that don't realize it might not actually be what Gore implied. Some even
heard playback of Gore making the statement, but were pre-disposed to see
a particular meaning due to lead-in. I just wanted to point out that that
particular viewpoint doesn't appear to be correct.

If we keep repeating and ignoring misinformation it becomes cultural fact.

There are lots of reasons to dislike most any politition. No need to make
stuff up :).
