Not down on America. America is awesome. Just some Americans, like some Canadians, and like anyone I guess, can be a little wonky at times.
Al Gore didn't invent the Internet. To know more about the Internet's true origins, Google names like Leonard Kleinrock, J.C.R. Licklider, Robert Taylor etc. Also Google "ARPANET". For something more modern, lookup Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn.
