I only learned about Edison twice in school: once, in elementary school, when we briefly went over his life and accomplishments, then in college, where we discussed his contributions to the film industry. I learned he was kind of a bastard, too, but that was later, after I had read a book about him.

Anyway, ask random strangers on the street about Edison and I guarantee they still wouldn't zero in on what a horrible person he was. Some might, but most would likely talk about the fact that he was an inventor first (and I bet a few would insist he invented the light bulb). Let's face it, a lot of people tend to forget what they learned in school, or never received a quality education in the first place...but that's a post for another day.
