            That makes him no less American than Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc...

                  Come on guys. Let's hear it for the great inventors the US has produced. Edison and the Wright Bros. are clearly at the forefront. Bell may have been a Canadian. We also should consider Morse. We have one vote for Oppenheimer.

                  What about Samuel Colt?

                    So is Simon Legree. But I think he should be included because he represents the Old South.

                      Wright bros. are overrated. Half a dozen other guys were working on the same **** concurrently, they just happened to beat them to the punch (and not by much).

                      Edison, on the other hand, certainly rocks.

                        Simon Legree should be on a list of 25 greatest Americans? The Nedaverse gets stranger every day.

                          If the Brits can vote Homer Simpson as Greatest American, I don't see why I can't

                            No, Boris. I was referring to MTG's alternate list of great Confederates.

                              The Brits only did it out of mockery. And probably many of them were too dumb to know he's not real.
