Actually, what's frightened me the most about this administration is
that they have half a clue;  And they seem to be willing to learn, if
only by making mistakes that affect the rest of us.

Gore's always kept up on technical issues, but hasn't actually lived
them, and that's the problem: the routine use of the technology changes
your POV far more than reading the specs.
