Thumbs up The Magnificent Mr. Franklin

12-18-2023

Just about every ‘American’ has heard of ‘Benjamin Franklin’ but just how much do you really know about the man himself?!

For the record, few men (even by today’s standards) were as accomplished as “Dear Old Ben!!” This gent was a truly unbelievable – Statesman, Inventor, Patriot, Genius and Intellectual (among other things)! He was also “One Tough Cookie” who, had we lost “Our War for Independence”, would probably been hunted-down and hung, along with ‘All of Our Other Great Founding Fathers?

“As Our Own Illustrious American History Will Attest” – we kicked ass - and became “The Greatest Nation” ever to exist upon the entire face of this meandering little ball of rock and sod and so it is!!

Getting back to “Ben Franklin Himself”, he lived from “1706 to 1790” and although he is listed as once having been “The President of Pennsylvania”, Ben passed-on to his final reward at the age of eighty-four and he must always be remembered, not only for his monumental intellect, but indeed, “He Was One of The Truly Great Americans & Polymaths of All Times!!”
