The Church vs. The Lightning Rod

"How dare one interfere with the mighty judgement of God and His wrath?!" Who knew the lightning rod was such a, well, lightning rod of controversy? Benjamin Franklin gave a gift to the world, and much like the still relevant battles pitting science against (a person's own definition of) God, not everyone wanted that gift. Burn the witches, we've got some history to learn. In the news segment: Oregon gets a C-, a person's morality changes with the season, Google declared a monopoly, a beaver causes internet outages, you won't believe where this one guy shoves an eel, and much, much more. Enjoy?
