<br>(Billy M.)
<br>(Billy M.)
Billy M.'s list seems like a good one. Let me add in:
# St. Paul--without him, the Christian religion would probably still be a splinter sect of Judaism.
# Charles Darwin
# Adolf Hitler (You didn't say GOOD, just influential.)
# Karl Marx
# Abraham Lincoln, whose election catalyzed the Civil War, and finally abolished slavery in the United States.
# Rupert Murdoch, without whom Bush would never be president.
# George W. Bush
# Osama Bin Laden: did more damage to the USA with boxcutters than the Soviet Union could ever have done with nukes.
# Bill Gates: For bringing computing to the masses. Buggy, inferior computing, but computing nonetheless.
# Tim Berners-Lee: for thinking up the World-Wide Web, the biggest advance in communication since the telephone.
# Gutenberg, for the other biggest advance.
# Tom Paine, for writing Common Sense.
# Adam Smith, who, much like Jesus, is invoked the loudest by those who haven't really read him.
