Have to agree 100% He was 100% genius, 100% scientist, and didnt give a damn about marketing or politics or other mundane crap. However, this allowed far lesser men to take credit and make profit on his hard work.
His "death ray" lives on today, as HAARP, and his other hard work is alive and well at Area 51 and other US bases in the form of X Craft.

Tesla was such a great scientist because he was a terrible business man. If he were financially wealthy, he wouldn't have ever made the number of inventions that he is credited for today.
Unfortunitely, I believe he only held a 100-200 patents, because other ideas were stolen from him. He was basically too poor to patent all of his technology. He was known for only sleeping 2 hours of a night because he worked so hard on his ideas. He enjoyed doing math and creating models in his head rather than sleep.
Tesla was recently given the credit for building the first radio (within the last 5-10 years) after a bitter court battle. People are still out there fighting for him to have a name in the science community. He was the right man born in the wrong century. What a shame. The father of AC power, transformers, power transmission through wires and air, the "death ray" or particle-laser, radio, and a large number of other popular inventions needs to be taught in history, not idiots that destroyed lives while sitting on their ass making millions.
He's the kind of guy that makes me believe today's scientists are drones with no creativity. Sad.

Oops can't touch this.

This was 1900.
Uptight about Mr. Tesla's words.
Someone must have an old copy.
Lines 65-70 mention "... when carried by a
vessel floating in the air...."
Oh, we got a lot of those.
That is put this thing inside.
I a gonna have fun on the alien ufo forums.
They could care less.
And so do I. We can't have too many monoplies like Microsoft and Intel around.
I think the music biz will put the squeeze on
Apple if too much money is made with the iPod
music download service.
Ok, enough with the SECKRETZ, I must be on
my way.
