Look, pal, I asked you what your ninnying and others ninnying had to do with Upton and Edison’s accomplishments. You offered, aw gee, poor tesla, poor elephant.
You are the inbred, since you cannot seem to follow simple logic. The whole thrust of the argument against Upton is that he is at odds with Edison.
Tesla has exactly zero to do with this, yet, you want to get your point across.
Fine, go start a blog, and try to focus next time on the situation at hand.
If you find technical dialogue amongst fellow FR posters to be ninnying, then you should educate yourself so you can understand what was being said. My comments dealt with the accomplishments of Tesla vs Edison in a commentary on their actions, intellect and motivations, and Edison’s blatant support of a completely unfeasible system by grandstand electrocution of a poor dumb animal. Your response was to say you’d “fry” an animal. Completely nonsensical, but notably emotive and impressive in it’s depth of thought.
Upton has nothing to do with Edison, except in the posting of his connection to a company. What he DOES have to do with is a complete disconnect as a RINO, supportive of bogus green initiatives and banning of incandescent bulbs, and with considerable personal financial interest in the forced change. You know, like Mike Chertoff’s ownership of the airport TSA full body scanners company.
The Tesla commentary was directed to other knowledgeable posters to the similarities of this govt. interference in our lives with the potential appointment of a “green, carbon credit” RINO, to the situation from our past in which Edison for his personal gain, was completely wrong. Edison as the dumber, desperate investor, grandstanded by electrocuting a poor dumb animal. What a genius, even allowing for not applying today’s morality with yesterday’s.
Much as the substations of high voltage AC transmission lines (while “dangerous”) won out over “safe” DC transmission which was economically unfeasible, it is safe to say that incandescent bulbs, while of higher wattage, are of much cheaper overall cost vs. “green” expensive florescents.
If this was allowed to progress without govt. intervention, the “green” bulbs would remain where they should be- for dilletantes who also might buy a VOLT car. By simply putting a timer on a incandescent, for cheap dollars, you can blow past the entire production and running expense of a “green” bulb. That is a fact, and not from a ninny. $7.00 vs. 25 cents— that is the comparison. Conservatives tire of so many supping at the federal table at our expense.
