George Washington -- if for no other reason that turning down the crown when his men offered to make him King..
John Marshall -- for his decision in Marberry v. Madison, declaring the Supreme Court to be the final arbiter of what the Constitution means.
Ben Franklin -- for talking the French into intervening in the Revolution; for his many inventions; for his rags to riches rise.
Mark Twain -- his writing crystalized the American way of thinking -- individualistic, anti-government, gloriously unsophisticated.
Dr. Martin Luther King -- led the modern push for not only equality but non-violence. The ideas of his Southern Christian Leadership Conference, were seized upon by Latinos, by women, by oldster, by gays, etc., in their own demands for equality.Comment

FranklinI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

edit: I deleted that last bit as that might be classified information.
And GE only came into prominence after they ditched Edison's silly DC plans.
Yes I'm biased as Westinghouse did manufacture most of the equipment on the Enterprise. Granted that ship was a piece of ****. But that's to be expected for a prototype design. They really didn't know how to designe a reactor for a carrier. So our reactors were only slightly larger than S5W reactos times 8 of them.Last edited by Dis; April 22, 2005, 01:25.Comment
