It was more than a lab, it was a think tank of inventors, many of whom Edison advantage of.

I read about that, it said that they will have to rewrite the history of art.
It's much like the caves in Spain.
My opinion this isn't the first go around for mankind, we have been here a long time, and on the verge of extinction before.

Nice story of Henry Brown, to bad though someone thought that they had a right to enslave someone.
Most then used the Bible as a right to own slaves which is wrong in any event.
The bible never endorsed it to a point where you dehumanized people.

Big difference between then, and today, they tried to look proper :)
i remember as a kid, people tried to look good unless they where working, and even then they looked better than most today.
Society has sure gone down hill.

WOW, I imagined myself waking amongst all the scenes and I find that scenes come alive when I do this. Those were some sights.

My parents was over there in 59 I believe, the resentment was bad against the servicemen.
My mom, and dad both said people would go out of the way to spit at them.

On another front, Japan, my dad was treated with a lot of respect, and the people went out of the way to be nice, and take care of him.
Much respect to them for that.

How much China has changed. That Tibetan girl was beautiful. The old Manchu style was in fashion. That scene of old Canton shows how horrible a place it was. It's no wonder they wanted to live outside of China.

i love the old photos, it shows where we have come, and where we have not.
It's a shame 100 years on for many life is no better, and someone is still stepping on others.
