One of the Edison bulbs is still burning, has been for over 100 years, I'm pretty sure it's in Greenfeild Village, Dearborn Michigan, I haven't been there in long time.

I find nothing about this surprising. Disgusting, but not surprising.
Capatalism. That's what it's all about.
I wish I could find this to post it, but I can't. However, I once read that one of Edison's original light bulbs contained a simple substance such as bamboo, and another simple element, and they burned for 20 years.
If that is true it all comes back to the same thing, and the implications are easily ascertained. Capatalism. Which I'm all for. But we are getting to the point now where our civilization is doing so many foolish things, it's repulsive.
Don't you just feel so helpless sometimes?
