All the others made enormous scientific breakthroughs or invented a now-vital piece of technology, but he just watered down drugs and claimed them to be more effective. He's the pork chop in a synagogue, the enron among energy companies, and the ashtray on a motorcycle. Why is the homeopathy guy included?

It is rare to find someone else who is aware of AG Bell's outrageous discrimination against Deaf people. It is sad history seems to ignore damage done to minorities, whether they are linguistic minorities or otherwise. Jenny Jen,

I totally agree! It is rare to find someone else who is aware of AG Bell’s outrageous discrimination against Deaf people. It is sad history seems to ignore damage done to minorities, whether they are linguistic minorities or otherwise.

Alexander Graham Bell was a leading force in the effort to prevent the prevalence of deaf people's language, their organizations, their press and their cultural identity. Alexander Graham Bell was a strong advocate to eliminate sign language and and force Oral education on deaf teachers from the deaf education system, thereby oppressing the natural expression of language and culture by the Deaf community worldwide.
