Any mention of Henry Ford's blatant/disgusting antisemitism?


Actually this is a good point. When I asked my first question I wondered. Should we now judge these guys by today's standards as they "built" this country? I am certain these fathers of America would never stand up to todays standards and maybe they couldn't get rich without say discrimination?


Beyond their non-PC views, they were also hopped on insanely-pure cocaine back then. Sigmund Freud being perhaps patient zero of yayo-inspired loonery.

Another great argument for the legalization of drugs. Look at the increased productivity.

Great series on the History channel about some of the most powerful men throughout US history. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, and Ford just to name a few (of course none of them earned their wealth :P ) I've seen it before, but it's on again this weekend. Interesting shit if you like history.


There was an episode of American Experience over the summer about Ford. It was good.

It was on Ch. 11. Sorry I didn't include it. I feel like a dick if I say "Did you see that show on PBS/Ch. 11?"

Love the series although it tends to get a little too Rockefeller v. Carnegie.

I'd like to kick Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV square in the nuts when he questions the way his forefather earned his money. The guy's entire existence is based on JDR I down to the name and he dares to curse the light of the sun in which he basks.
