    No, she experienced a totalitarian regime that claimed to be communist.  The worst thing that happened to Communism was the Russian Revolution, its totally warped peoples perception.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


    Weren&#39;t you the one praising the Russian Revolution?

    Oh please show me where I praised the revolution, I might have forgotten, otherwise all the time I spent arguing with you has been wasted because you are a lunatic imagining things.


    And Bruce Lee does kick ass. That wasn&#39;t bad grammer either, he still does kick ass.

    Escaped from Russia, and gave one of the first unbiased reports on the true nature of communism.

    Was highly persecuted during the "red decade", wrote the books she still felt needed to be written and said what had to be said. Atlas Shrugged is said to be (by the Library of Congress) to be the second most influential book in amerian history, next to the Bible.

    Be carefull what you call unbiased- she was indeed biased. The definition of bias (according to www.dictionary.com) is "To influence in a particular, typicall direction; prejudice." She was indeed prejudice, against her country&#39;s form of governemnt- was it a bad thing- no&#33;

    I didn&#39;t put a whole lot of thinking into that list, and yeah, it&#39;s biased.

    while there certainly are many that deserve as much attention,
    I&#39;d have to mention:

    - George Orwell
    - Rosa L.Parks
    - Sub-Commandante Marcos

    but i really can&#39;t say one is "greater" than the other...


    oh yeah, lemme add Bob Marley too &#33;

    Either you don&#39;t know much about Guevara, or you and your an ass. Whether or not you agree with his politics, you should at least admire the fact that he saw the misery of the people around him and spent his life afterwoods trying to improve it for them. I doubt you can say anything 100th as noble as that about yourself.

    Thank god, we have not had Jesus H Christ nominated yet... guess who will fill the other two spots in that case... even if not strictly "people"&#33;

    I&#39;m in a quandry- the greatest theorists, inventors, philosophers, the field is too big... People who pushed the limits for all of us in fields as diverse as medicine(think anti-biotics and x-rays and DNA...) and, physics, cosmology, the invention of digital electronics, the microchip, the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, heavier than air flight, plate tectonics, radio, classical music composers, ideologists... I give up

    Fleming
    Edison
    Einstein

    The people who changed our world the most- I think.

    I think the reason Jesus isn&#39;t listed is because he wasn&#39;t born in the 20th century, although I could be wrong.

    Noone has yet mentioned the bloke that made what we&#39;re doing now possible. The guy that invented the internet, Tim Berners Lee.

    Then theres Alan Turing, the computer inventor, and Mr. Feynmann for nanotechnoly.

    A man has two reasons for doing anything --- a good reason and the real reason.
    Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed
    In spite of the cost of living, it&#39;s still popular.
