#2 Too bad the environmental activist Theodore Kaczynski, the social innovator Charles Manson, and the noted sports hero O.J. Simpson were not included. They probably would have ranked in the top five.

#3 Pretty much proves your posts on the power of the media elite, AC. Boggle.

#4 Me trust a BBC poll? You must be kidding right?

Noam Chomksy? Most people in the world couldn't tell you whom he is. But most lefty Jurnos can. The Poll is stacked junk, just like the "Have Your Say" questions at the BBC website.

#7 Pick a convicted and confessed terrorist bomber to lead the world. Other than that words fail me in the face of such stupidity.

#8 Is there anyone in that list you'd want running the world? Me neither. Greenspan may be a good economist and Gates a good entrepreneur, but still...sheesh.

#10 Where did Barney the Dinosaur come in? He'd be my pick, mainly because it'd be tough for Nellie and his friends to throw tires around him and set him on fire.

#11 What, no women on the list? What about gender diversity?

#12 Basically, a list of p*ssies who will look away and do nothing while the world's dictators do whatever they want. Unless somebody's hurting muslims in Europe, in which case BJ Clinton is for hire.

#13 "Users were required to pick at least one each from a select list of leaders, thinkers and economists, and had a free choice of any other eight..."
Did you catch that? "a select list"
And the deck is stacked to unjustly favor thinkers and economists.

#14 no Scott Peterson votes? This is fixed!

#16 "thinkers and economists," Darrell? I'm not sure Gates or Jobs fall in either category. Nor Chomsky, for that matter, but for different reasons . . . But yes, absolutely a stacked deck; and with more than half the participants coming from the US, probably a stacked jury as well.

#18 Scot Peterson? Screw that here's the McCoy bridgeman....

That's Bill on the left and a very, very young Steve Tensi on the right.

#20 The poll was obviously stacked by the Americans.
