*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** From: http://www.redherring.com/mag/issue84/mag-gore-84.html The Red Herring interview: E-Gore He invented the Internet (Well, not really. See below). What would he do as president? By Peter D. Henig and Jason Pontin From the October 30, 2000 issue It's all true: In person, he is unbelievably stiff. His clothes are too tight. He is a little too perfect -- too monotonously didactic, too insistently righteous -- to be immediately likable. But in conversation, Al Gore is also thoughtful, informed, inquisitive, and technologically literate. He is sincerely interested in how business, globalization, and the Internet are changing the world. He is capable of moments of genuinely inspired synthesis, as when he told us that, "the American democratic system was an early political version of Napster." See site for multi-part interview.
