Franklin had so many interests that we worked hard to get as much in as possible. He was interested in everything going on around him. When you look at the biographical information, his inventions, what he read, who he spoke to, the range of subjects he mastered, there's a chance he had an opinion about it. There are so many aspects, whether the most significant or a little less well-known, that show that breadth of what he was involved in.
