I was gathering information off the web for my up-coming final exams
(instead of reading the books)...and came across this poll for TIME,
asking people to vote for who they think is Person of the Century.
Now, before everyone goes and votes for Bono (that really wasn't my
purpose of bringing this up - but you obviously can if you want),
there are some asinine tallies so far. Now, I won't mention who's
number one because I'll save myself the need to discuss how ridiculous
the poll is right now and avoid flames....but, all I'll say is that
Sarah McLachlan has over 10,000 votes so far. For - Person of the
CENTURY. That's not even the worst of it....Reagan pulled in about
13,000....and well Billy Graham is even higher than that...so, ahhh,
you get my point. Real positive influential people - i.e. Lennon,
King, Elvis (Your name here:__________) ...don't make the list at all.
So...maybe you'll feel like putting in your opinion when you decide to
avoid working on important, relevant things...here:
