I benefitted diretly from the discovery of insulin

Although it was rough and tough for the first years getting the dosage right, my mother's life was extended for years and years by the
discovery - and I am and always will be grateful.

I agree, and yet they (the yanks) are to ignorant to realize it and name them (Rush) to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Telephone has to be right up there.....................and insulin.

Actually the first message transmitted by a 'telephone' was in Germany in 1860, by one Johann Reis. Bell's telephone didn't come along for another 15 years.

That's because Rush sucks, not because Americans are ignorant.

Now if you put the word Mahogany in front of that word, you'll actually come up with a Canadian band worthy of the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

Have to ask some of the Americans here but do they even use the robertson south of the border?
Nope, well limited anyways. Philips is the usual standard, but it's actually something more a kin to a frearson.

Robertson slit his own throat when he limited licensing.
