Scientific Mastery

How convenient it is too see
thanks to Thomas Edison's scientific mastery.
What do you suppose he would think of us,
visiting some place like Las Vegas?

It would be interesting no doubt to find out! (hey that rhymed)... I've never been to Las Vegas, but it does seem like a colossal waste of energy!

Hey guys... I enjoyed reading all of you're varied responses (and in a way I kind of agree with you all... if that's possible?). I think Thomas Edison would be amazed at the extent of the popularity of his invention while at the same time saddened to see it being used so frivolously. Where as in his day it was for convenience and the good of humanity... not so much entertainment.

I went to utube but the song title we can get along wasn't playing. The artist however was Tim Hicks. Is that you or someone with the same name???
