Why is America better then England at freedom

I'm going to have to disagree with you here Oliver. Wingedangel completely missed my hilarious alternating current vs. direct current joke earlier in the thus proving he is a fool.

I missed it, too, but if it required knowledge of engineering, I hope I may be excused. :)

Again, have to disagree about the neglect. Tesla is extremely well known. He shaped the transmission of electricity. Wikipedia Current Wars and see the pros/cons of alternating versus direct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currents

Just shows how much I know. I had genuinely never heard of him before.

It seems to me as if he had a lot of success but tried to do even more than this success. He then couldn't fully follow through. Given that he succumbed to mental illness and his papers appear to have been spirited away by the US government, there's certainly ample room for wonderful conspiracy theories.
