True, but he did come along and make it viable (though the inventor did have Big T working against him). There is something for that. Think of it this way Ford did not invent the automobile, but I bet more people know his name.

But you are right credit should be given where credit is due. Also lots of thanks.

An American invented it, but couldn't get through the red tape to patent and distribute it.
A man fro China patented it, distributed it, and together, in an odd sort of happenings, they both saved millions of lives.
Meanwhile, back in America, and all over the world, red tape try's to ban it.

Yep. I've always said that an American invented it, and it took someone else to developed it.

We Americans are great innovators, but our red tape is a major barrier to developement.
