Henry Ford was a great man for what he did to contribute to mankind, but he like all of us was a man. A flawed man in some respects like each of us.
I've never heard him accused of being a drunk, and whoever it was on this thread should give some reference or give that up.
Not long ago here on FR someone posted a thread that got pulled by Jim Robinson. It was about how Martin Luther was also an anti semite. Yes you can google it and find a target rich environment. JimRob's reason was WHY?
I don't think many here would argue that Luther didn't also make a huge contribution to the world. Let's not join the mob toppling statues of confederate generals. We're Freepers. We're better than that.
Good I will give it up. Heard it years ago and I can't second source it, so I will revise and rescind my remarks and take it back. It may or may not be linked to a story that he would ride his horse out to the Lord Fox Inn restaurant (I am not sure what it is now) on the outskirts of Ann Arbor on Sunday's I believe for something to eat, apparently a favorite of his. That I heard from a local or a restaurateur.
