  • Apolyton list: 25 greatest Americans

    Since there's so many disagreements about the top 100 greatest Americans poll done by AOL, let's see how us intellectual Apolytonians think about it.

    Each poster send me five (5) names by PM, email, or post on this thread before April 30 and I'll tabulate the results and see who us brainiacs like.

    Try to use a proper name, such as "Neil Aldrin Armstrong" instead of "Buzz Armstrong." I can't take anything like "the guy who wrote about the mississippi river," or "Patrick Johannoson, inventor of the Dorito." If you feel that the person you're nominating is relatively obscure or you're not sure you can remember a full name and they're not well-enough known to use a last name, try to include a profession or accomplishment.

    In the event that two people share a last name (Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt), use their full name.

    Apolytonians are excluded from being on the list. Don't worry. Ted Striker will get an honorary mention.

    So, get to thinking! I've got a start for us:

    Bill Clinton
    Johnny Cash
    Franklin Roosevelt
    Sam Walton
    Douglas MacArthur
    meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Listen very carefully, Buzz was the nickname of Edwin Aldrin, not Neil Armstrong.

    Anyways,

    Ronald Reagan
    Thomas Edison
    John Wayne
    Dwight D. Eisenhower
    Elvis Presley

          only 5? this will be tough.

          there will be no celebrities on my list, because celebrities are crap.

          Lincoln, Washington, MLK, Bill Gates, and Booker T. Washington.

          since his mailbox is full, let this post serve as my votes.

          edit: and yes this list is finalized. There are other great ones, but there's just no room since I can only vote for 5.
