If you say so, but I’m not convinced that usury is the driving engine of civilization yet.
Seems like fiat money is the final expression of usury, and look to the catrasrophy that it has always lead too.

definitely Lenin
no Russian Revolution or USSR without Lenin, at least not likely in the form it took
no Stalin without Lenin
no Hitler
no Mao
of course those persons could still have existed but they would not have become the notorious mass-murderers we know and loathe
there might have been other really bad things in the 20th century, but Lenin had a uniquely evil role in shaping the Russian Rev. and that led to uncountable millions of deaths in the 20th century plus so many totalitarian govts

I was thinking Obama too, but then he has been responsible for lots of people waking up and paying attention. Without him we might have just continued inching along the path to destruction, and we at least have a fighting chance now.

True. I’m surprised that noone named the one person who committed the first crime. Cain is my choice.

YES, anyone who would screw up God’s most perfect creation is the worst person in history. Man may have been created on the sixth day, as the highest of the animals; but on the eighth day, God created hockey.
