# 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.
