Tuesday, August 12, 2003   50 Greatest Americans Robert Prather, kindly including my opines in the mix, has worked on a list of the 50 greatest Americans, using An Ordered Methodology. No clue what that means but it has to be something. His list is on The Mind of Man. The top ten are: 1. Thomas Jefferson 874 2. George Washington 718 3. Abraham Lincoln 643 4. Benjamin Franklin 563 5. Martin Luther King Jr. 537 6. Henry Ford 530 7. James Madison 501 8. John Adams 475 9. Teddy Roosevelt 402 10. Eli Whitney 379 No to King, Adams or Teddy on my list of twenty. Tesla made it at 31 on this list, my personal favorite, for inventing radio. Four women, none higher than number 25. I had none on my list. [Meryl, put down the gun...] Thinking about it, I'm not sure Washington was on my list. Clarence Birdseye was on my list. I had forgotten about Salk, who should have made my list. Anyway, go and see, and think. -- posted by Chuck at Tuesday, August 12, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
