"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Something our younger (or dumber) members should learn. You fucking idiots.

Big Ben Franklin was a giant among peasants. I read somewhere that he stole his quotes and lived a life very different from what he preached but was a master at public image. FUCKING PROVE IT 
seriously he was a man of wise words even if they weren't his |
| If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. -Samuel Adams |

I don't know if steal is the right word, but he was a prolific reader. He was very aware that knowledge was power, and he tried to help his fellow citizens enlarge their minds while at the same time make some "pudding" for himself. He was aware of his faults, and one he often expressed was his "vanity"  I think he was the most influential for the good of the colonies than anyone else through his almanacs.

Dammmmmmn. 
I don't care who ol' Ben really was, he was a political and scientific genius, and had a lot of wisdom, and we can all learn a lot from him. And no - he didn't discover electricity any more than Washington chopped down a cherry tree. He simply proved that lightning was electricity. Everyone knew what electricity was long before Ben did his experiments. He also invented the glass harmonica, which no one knows about today, but is used quite often in eerie movie and TV show soundtracks. |

Disapproval towards promiscuity has traditionally been a conservative value. |

I have no problem with Apple telling the feds to fuck off. I wish my state would tell them to fuck off permanently. Tell them. The good thing about state level government, is they tend to listen more. I have influenced telcom bills at least once, for the better. CONTACT YOUR REP. NOW. |

Disapproval towards promiscuity has traditionally been a conservative value. I'd have to agree with that - still, it's silly to discount Ben's enormous influence in advancing this country's science, wisdom and politics. I have no idea of his sexual history - that's news to me. All I know about that is secondhand from posters in this thread. |

I graduated from a college he founded with a 200 year endowment.
When the 200 year period was up and the money was to be released (supposedly to the school) Boston's Mayor Menino and the state of MA tried to seize the money. They wanted to let Franklin's legacy die and the school close its doors for good so they could waste the money on "anti-gang" programs. Bastards. I graduated the year the city and state lost in court. He also founded a college in Philly but that had been turned into a museum many years earlier. I received an award named after this guy....a Franklin graduate whose career didn't end so well. (skip to 00:50)
