Speaking of Edison
Hi,
Edison was Bill Gatesian in his competitiveness, and didn't mind bending the rules.
Did you know Edison pirated, stole, a copy of Georges Méliès' 1902 movie (this was the world's first science fiction movie) _Le Voyage Dans La Lune_ (A Trip To The Moon) and exhibited it in New York before Méliès could, thereby robbing Méliès of his rightful profits?
Edison also fought the alternating current guy (I forget his name) tooth and nail during the DC VS AC struggle. To show that AC was dangerous, Edison staged events in which he electrocuted elephants and horrible stuff like that. The alternating current guy's life ended up being ruined, even though his way was better.
Can anyone name a supersuccessful person, other than Jesus, who never broke or bent any rules?
Best,
-Boyd
