    They don't even tell you how Edison demonstrated the dangers of alternating currents.

    I love putting the picture at the top of this....I wonder who that black man is supposed to be? I wonder if the author of this article is simply a passive aggressive conservative?

    Okay. Let's be fair: creating the FBI hardly constitutes being a "Great Man." It just means he helped to give the government more unchecked power. Woo.Thomas Edison was also not a great man. He was a poor, poor excuse for a scientist who never had half the intelligence that Nikola Tesla embodied in his right foot. As Tesla himself once put it, "If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search." Sure, he invented the light bulb, but if Tesla had been in his place, we'd have those (probably vastly more efficient versions of them, that is) and countless other technological wonders.I guess Jackson could qualify as a great man in some regards, but he was still such a horrible person in so many other regards that I hardly feel he should receive credit as the former at all.

    doesn't even begin to describe what Hoover got up to.He blackmailed 6 American Presidents for a start! He prevented all serious attempts to roll up the Mafia because they blackmailed him with photographs of his homosexual activities. In order to protect some Mafia informers, who needed to kill to maintain their own cover, he permitted innocent victims to be convicted of Capital crimes (which led to them spending 30 years in prison). And so on. This is why he remains the unchallenged King of the Corrupt Insiders...

    Men who did great things. Terrible, but great.
