so you get western union seeking privacy and western union payment standards in the telegraph should do the same bystanders in the post office. so the government is not necessarily the best guardian of privacy of the citizenry and i think it is a lesson we can take from the history of the 187 days in the 1880s. >> host: desanto borst i read from his invention? >> samuel morris died rich because samuel morse, a business manager hired the good sense to invest in western union and that is what saved sammy morris, even the western union was in effect the great rival. and the irony is even richer because western union saw the value asserted a poster child for the new type apology and they're actually behind the statue from the still standing in central park. one of the first erected to a living american. morris is still alive and by linking him with western union, and they created this historic mythology that's really falls to the history, but it is one that cuts to associate a corporation, which had a rather low regard of the heroic adventurer who had a high regard today. so yes, by inve
