Here's to the crazy ones... The misfits; the rebels... The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do, is ignore them; because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, We see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Albert Einstein
Bob Dylan
Martin Luther King
Richard Branson
John Lennon
Buckminster Fuller
Thomas Alva Edison
Muhammad Ali
Ted Turner
Maria Callas
Gandhi
Amelia Earhart
Alfred Hitchcock
Martha Graham
Jim Henson
Frank Lloyd Wright
Pablo Picasso

Who else should be on this list? And yes, you can completely disagree with this list... What is your opinion?

Willis Carrier graduated from my high school, Lake Shore Central in Angola, New York:

http://www.time.com/time/time100/builder/profile/carrier.html

quote:
And what a splendid fellow he was too, in addition to being such a benefactor to mankind (unless you want to hold all the Yankees who have moved to the South against him). A perfectly Horatio Alger kind of guy was Willis Carrier, struggling against odds, persisting, overcoming. Slapped down by the Great Depression, he fought back again to build an enormous concern that to this good day is the world's leading maker of air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems.

And think of the difference he's made. As anyone who has ever suffered through a brutal summer can tell you, if it weren't for Carrier's having made human beings more comfortable, the rates of drunkenness, divorce, brutality and murder would be Lord knows how much higher. Productivity rates would plunge 40% over the world; the deep-sea fishing industry would be deep-sixed; Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel would deteriorate; rare books and manuscripts would fall apart; deep mining for gold, silver and other metals would be impossible; the world's largest telescope wouldn't work; many of our children wouldn't be able to learn; and in Silicon Valley, the computer industry would crash.

I fail to see why I am not mentioned on any of the lists. [Smile]

But seriously... Bob Dylan? I've only heard one of his songs ever, and I don't recall it being impressive. What did he do to change the world and move it forward?

That list from Time magazine is really stupid. It doesn`t even list Stalin, but has Oprah Winfrey next to Igor Stravinsky...

Princess Di? [puke]

So the way you get to be a 'hero and icon' is to shag your way round London's obscenely rich social misfits, portraying yourself as a 'victim' all the while... [Roll Eyes]

Joe you are so on the list... I'll add Phil too while I'm at it...

But seriously Joe, I knew you would say something about why Bob Dylan was on the list.

Bob Dylan.
Folk-singer and songwriter, born in Duluth, MN. Taking his professional name from the poet Dylan Thomas, he rose to fame in the 1960s, following the folk tradition of Woody Guthrie but introducing a fresh social and political awareness. His lyrics made his songs the dominant influence in the popular music and culture of the period.

It doesn't really prove much... I just knew someone would catch that and say something...

He was also on the Time Magazine list as well. Maybe I was asking about that!

Anyway I'm glad you know me so well. What else do you know about me? [Smile]

Wow... [Big Grin] that face you made is soooo sexy. [Wink]
I don't really know that much about you. I guess I should since I put you on the list.

Are you saying your ass never itches, Paul? Also, I demand to know what TMI is. Jennifer, you can learn all about me at my incredibly useless website and see how I move the entire human race forward (or perhaps backwards?)
