Kerry warns against a government 'too limited to have invented the Internet' By Pete Kasperowicz - 01/11/11 10:27 AM ET
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) warned incoming Republicans Tuesday morning against cutting back the size of government so much that it cannot contribute to U.S. productivity.
"Do they want a government too limited to have invented the Internet, now a vital part of our commerce and communications?" he asked at one point.
Kerry also argued that the government's bailout of U.S. auto companies was warranted, and said government-funded research programs should be spared.
"[Do they want a] government too small to give America’s auto industry and all its workers a second chance to fight for their survival? Taxes too low to invest in the research that creates jobs and industries and fills the Treasury with the revenue that educates our children, cures disease, and defends our country?" he said in remarks to the Center for American Progress.
"We have to get past slogans and soundbites, reason together and talk in real terms about how America can do its best," he added.

I see that what I wrote is just too cryptic. I was thinking of Csuri’s work and the university connections. I was trying to remember the dates of all that. I know Compuserve was 1976-1977, but the Internet was prior to that.
Csuri was a cool guy.
