I came across this item a week ago. Tom Edison, the guy that brought you elek-tri-city went about trying to get the penal system to buy into the idea that electrocuting prisoners was a good thing.

He called it "Westinghousing" and he made a film where he electrocuted an elephant to sell his idea. I didn't bother with the clip, it can be found on line if you want, I hate the idea of this jerk killing an elephant to sell the thought.

I really admired all the inventors and dreamers who made or invented things to make our lives easier......

Imagine what he would say if he knew that some 100 years later his idea would be used to kill prisoners and shock 9 year old political sign vandals!
