Inventors day varies from country to country. Countries which recognise an Inventors Day do so with varying degrees of emphasis and on different days of the year.
President Ronald Reagan of the United States proclaimed February 11, 1983 as National Inventors Day via his Proclamation 5013 whereby he stated:
...call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. |
So Congress, inkeeping with the ignorance of the rest of the administration and pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 140 of Public Law 97 – 198 designated February 11 as National Inventors Day.
This is the anniversary of the birth of the inventor Thomas Alva Edison, who is credited with over a thousand patents ... Which we now know a good many of these were hijacked from others.
This is is a travesty on a par with Truman's stupid National Security Act which enabled every crook and murderer on the planet to run ripshod over the rest of the taxpayers in the name of contrived "national security" and should have been repealed immediately ... but hasn't been to date.
So much for recognition of the enormous contribution inventors make to the nation and the world. The bad people are recognized while the good people assume obscurity.
I thought the government was supposed to be comprised of 'the elite' as stated in my civics class so long ago. If this is the work of the elite they might as well be placed in home and prevented from further menace to society.
