I concur. Yay for Edison’s inventive spirit, worth ethic, and triumph over disability! Boo for his thunder-stealing, cruelty to animals, and Homer-Simpson-esque shameless self-promotion! And yay Tesla, for his genius, humility, and kindness to animals. And yay Google, whatever the heck it may be! [Thanks, Lish!]
