franklin's account is unusually vague. my own suspicion is that franklin feared the discovery of electricity was his greatest achievement, which it was, so he tried to retrofit the story of the experiments so the history books gave him proper credit. he laid claim to the achievement not by setting up details of the experiment, like i said, the account is vague. no, rather he put in the minds of us an image indell jabble improvising his own rewriting of history in other words by conjuring the world's first data test version of what we now call a photo op. he did it by invoking an image that's playful and profound, the logo of the amateur childish spirit of liberty, of leisure, the likeness of being where creativity thieves. it can be american. it is american. not out of a nationalistic prize, but that it's our founding and inhair tans of anybody born or coming here. we have the speech, assembly, due process, trial by jury, the one that goes unstated almost presumed is the revolutionary decision to abandon one's past and one

the cost for all those is about $19.2 million in improvements to franklin street. other piece that i would like to mention, which i'm sure the commissioners are aware, the van ness brt project has identified franklin street for improvements, such as pedestrian signals. we are continuing to work with him today to see if there are other improvements we can include in the paving contract. we are on a tight schedule, but there is more we can provide to still keep paving on course. it is my understanding that goff and franklin are on the paving list and should move forward around this time next year. that date is shifting, so we will keep you up-to-date on that. withv4cxwith that, i can take q. supervisor kim: i believe this is part of the project. i know that with the franklin and hayes intersection, we were able to open that up so pedestrians could walk around all four intersections. i know that with franklin and bell, is that the next step? >> i an opening across what? we will get an exact answer. supervisor avalos: there was public comment on that recently as well.

one of our great franklin scholars.way, i come to that at the end because there are a number of images that i like about franklin. and about this very idea of amateurism. when jefferson was writing the declaration, he came up with a common phrase, life, liberty and property. that is the phrase the woodring in your year coming and we don't know for sure, but we do know that ben franklin edited jefferson's decoration. so did adams. but we think that ben went through it for some stylistic tweaks. i like to think he put that in there. we don't know for sure, but he wrote a lot about happiness, and a lot about the sort of playful randomness that comes with creativity. the other image like to invoke is the type. he wrote about how the child in boston would lay on his back on the surface and get pulled along by his kite. it's almost certainly fiction. but that image is so compelling and the wonderful sense of a child at play drifting about being pulled by the kite. the images that -- his other usage is a bit more famous. the m

over the years to come, franklin d. roosevelt leads voraciously, but the one book, the war of 1812, remains of importance to him. fifty years onward when fate put him in control of the strongest navy in history, he turns to ted for inspir ration and guidance and cousin ted's book is never far away, lessons never ignored. throughout the presidential years, fdr kept two copies in the library, one for the white house, and the other from the boyhood home in hyde park. his education was out of a sheltered, privileged child. private teachers and governances imported to instruct him. because they toured through europe, by the age of 12, he was a veteran of half a dozen crossings and more or less fluent in both french and german for all of his travel and learning, there were important deficiency in the education that would take years to fully overcome. the most significant of these was the fact he was taught exclusively at home. he did not actually go to school until he was 14. while academic lessons can be taught anywhere, som

franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line is, we, as atlantans, as georgians, don't have a choice to protect the river. we need to leave it better than we found it, and it's really been a political advantage for me, not a disadvantage. people laugh about me being the sewer mayor, but they remember what i'm doing. griffin: we want people to understand, when they see one of our work crews out working on the mains, that that work is necessary in order for them to have good clean drinking water or to have a good, functioning wastewater system. franklin: you don't put a roof on the house one time. you don't fix the plumbing one time, any more than i get my hair done one time. if we don't continue to invest for the next 20 years, we'll find ourselves back at the same point that we were in the late '90s. if we don't protect water, we will be without water. we will be without industry, we will be without jobs, we will be without a healthy economy, and our people will be sick. so we don't really have a choice. we're go

and of course from and its influence on benjamin franklin. benjamin franklin is probably the greatest self-made american, great inventor, because millionaire and he owned slaves. he had taken in fact a broad money was in france and london. and franklin had a few slaves and he wrote something called the observations of mankind in 1715. what he wrote in there with almost every slave is by nature a thief and he kept revising it. i'm at this time is talking benedict. i went through about 30 editions of the library of congress to finally change. in 1761, and the british edition he had almost everything is made by the nature of slavery. it's a big difference. almost every slave is made by nature. a slave will make you a white man if he changes, so he took and commence franklyn ben franklin eventually in 1787 becomes the second president. he has great accomplishments by american medicine. the studies and even grow as many others, many people sent their sons to study europe and even burba the sunlight meant that the study of medicine and came back an

we had a magnificent president, franklin delano roosevelt. that was a great man hated by the bush family particularly going all the way back to president bush, an obscure member of the senate from connecticut. they all hated roosevelt because he was a communist and he was going to do this and he lacked -- he liked black people and he was going to destroy everything. i could hear the voice of the right wing then every time the senator from arizona saw fit to bestowed his wisdom upon us in the campaign and he was making the case that obama wants to become president so he could tax all the poor people of the country. what you going to live on. and out of the shots as they say. there will be a spokesman for the senator from arizona. he is going to tax and spend. that was 1936. i remember that campaign. alfred landon trying to -- which he failed to do. they are still at the same old watering hole. somebody once said everything on earth changes except the avant-garde theater.

and the interesting historical freudian argument about franklin. it was an apprentice in the printing trade. he hated it. he bolded and jumped on a boat and fled to philadelphia. ran away and invetted the whole new ben franklin down in philadelphia. the one we know. he dropped out. and some historians brand him and others argue that all americans are sort of recapitulating the franklin story. we feel a need to bolt from something, our state, our past, charleston, what it is and find another version of yourself. all day with a sense that your feet are in that police station. franklin did go back to boston. not really. he was always a philadelphia man after that. so. anybody else. one last question? >> [inaudible] hang on. an anxious nation awaits your question. >> did you find any parallels between amateurs? you know, time idea different regions or something? >> um, i don't know. probably. certainly they what about first riddled with paranoia about somebody else having that idea. actually, you know, most of the ones i tended to be hanging out weren'
