Mickey Mouse....he was used during WWII to preach the American message and did s great job of it, Santa...yeah, he gives hope and joy to millions of kids, Allah.... let’s face it, he/she/it has cost the loss of more souls than almost anyone else,Obama...he is relevant because he, singlehandedly has done more to destroy the United States of America that any other single person.....except maybe F,D.R.

and all the people who witnessed their existance?????....That would, of course exclude Adam who may or may not have existed as a particular rather than a hypothetical "Man" to start the story.

My favorite Five:

The guy who cured cancer.

The woman who discovered how to make cold fusion a reality for pennies.

The guy who figured out how to manipulate gravity.

The woman who discovered the cure for the common cold.

The guy who successfully cross bred pigs with cows to make fantastic BBQ.

All were aborted in the 21st century.

Robin Hood

He was fighting against EXCESSIVE TAXATION, so in a sense he was the first TEA partier.

Well maybe so but “rob from the rich to give to the poor” is the lesson and if that’s the lesson of the tea party they can shove it.
