I suspect that the "oil industry plot to stop Edison" tale probably
should be filed right next to the "...carburetor that would allow
300 m.p.g., but the auto and oil companies bought up all the patents
and destroyed the plans..." tale! We can then add, of course, "The
moon landings were faked in Hollywood studios..." and "There is
suppressed proof that <the Communists, the Mafia, the NAACP, the
far right, the far left, the CIA, the [whatever] industry, Alfred
E. Neuman, usw -- select one> arranged the Kennedy assasination"...

However, virtually all of us were brought up on fairy tales...?!
