But Defkalion has only amateur status when it comes insulting the public and infuriating investors. Read a biography of Edison, Steve Jobs, Leland Stanford, or a 19th century Robber Baron and you will see how it is REALLY done, by a world-class maestro. Actually, I have to say, Rossi fits the classic mold better than the people at Defkalion. The thing is, if you want to do something that is close to impossible, and that will change the world and infuriate many powerful people, you have be ruthless and focused on yourself and your goals. You have to be a monomaniac with psychopathic tendencies. You have to put your mission ahead of all else in life. As Steve Jobs said shortly before he died, "I have not been easy to live with." No indeed; his type never is. - Jed
