They say Ben Franklin didn't rest while he tried to prove lightning and electricity were related. What he was actually doing was battling Zeus in the name of America. Zeus was upset at our newfound freedom; if people couldn't control other people then it was only a matter of time before the gods, including himself, lost all their power. Franklin tried to explain to him democracy was a great way of life, but of course Zeus wouldn't listen. Franklin had no choice but to engage in battle. Who won? Well, there's a reason Benjamin's face is on the hundred dollar bill.
