Your #1 Greatest Person Ever

If I was going for a UK person then hands down it has to be Margaret Thatcher , we've had some great Brits over the years but nobody can come close to her... I think when she does the least we can do is rename Liverpool or Sheffield in her honour

They started to with Sword removedhorpe

I digress for one minute but in the pub I was in on Friday evening there is a party fund for when she does snuff it - those miners certainly do hate her still

One person? Hm, can't come up with a better suggestion than mother Theresa.

MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”

Hm, have to admit that I obviously don't know enough about her. My knowledge about her was that she travellled around and helped poor kids and all that. Thought that was a nice thing to do. But again it shows that few things are done only for a good sake.

Leonardo da Vinci

I went to an exibition of the stuff he invented and did and I get the impression that if it was'nt for this one man we would be about 50 years behind where we are now.

The good old days?

Must admit, I'm tending toward the scientists myself. Euclid, DaVinci, Newton, Tesla, Einstein, Darwin, Fleming, Watson/Crick. From the arts and humanities, Shakespeare takes some beating.
