Ted, > They laughed at Edison when he said he could provide light without using gas or kerosene. Edison was an innovative and hard-working genius who spent his entire life making his ideas work. He was also a businessman and entrepreneur who made his fortunes through selling and mass-producing his work. Lots of inventors were trying to work on various forms of the light bulb, but Edison was the guy who came up with the first practical version of it. You hear about Edison's successes, but rarely do you hear about his failures. For example, he argued against transmitting electricity via AC (Alternating Current), claiming it was too dangerous. He even publicly electrocuted animals to prove it, but regardless, all power transmission is now via AC because it's cheaper and easier. But regardless, Edison is still one of the most honored inventors of our time. And this is the kind of stuff that inventors are made out of. I doubt Michael Moore has any clue about what it takes, much less have any idea on how to foster the next generation of innovators. Tenchusatsu
