Pretty bizarre reading some of the haters online insisting Edison was a big zero who "exploited" people working with him, and took credit for other's accomplishments.

Which brings me to Thoughts and ideas that hold forever true: Some things never change.

I'm so glad I was raised in a time when we were encouraged to "be all you can be", "reach for the stars", and "don't ask what your government can do for you, but ask what you can do for your government" than recent history's forewarnings to our youth  that "you'll never survive without government intervention", "you're not smart enough to manage your own life" and "you'll own nothing and be happy with it".
