I don't know you have ever sat down and watch anything on the History Channel, I don't think most people do, except if your middle-aged or older, but recently I have been getting more and more into history, so when I got this latest DVD I was a little intrigued.
Most people think of Ben Franklin as one of the most known founding fathers of this country. But watching this documentary, I have learned a lot more about the founder of electricity. Yes Dr. Franklin was a great inventor and he helped with the constitution, and he flew the kite with the key attached to it. Actually the key story I always thought was the start of electricity, when in reality it, he took that and invented lightning rods for home and tall buildings.
I think the big thing I pulled away from this video was probably put best by rapper ICE-T "Don't hate the playa, hate the game" because Ben Franklin was a womanizer. All the way into his 70's he had women lining up for him and he loved the women for hire as well. Even during his seven year marriage he was having relations with other women all over the world.
Although Dr. Franklin had this major flaw, and he wasn't what you would call a great family man. He did do a lot for this country, and I think he still should be looked at one of the biggest contributors to this nation as it is.
Like I said I was intrigued by this title, and the man lived over 80 some years, it was a bit long, at 94 minutes was long to sit and listen and see the same clips and pictures of this man. Then there is a quiz which you can take of 10 questions, well I got 6 out of 10 right. I dare you to try for yourself.
