I'll go with the one true Light of the World who sacrificed himself so that others might be delivered from evil:

Scipio over Hannibal, eh?

I wonder how much farther along in scientific and cultural process we'd be if the Carthaginians instead of the Romans had won the Punic Wars.

Theodore Roosevelt.

Although I wouldn't consider him to be the greatest U.S. president, he is by far the most interesting.


This. Abe Lincoln was the greatest president.

William Strunk.

His book "The Elements of Style" taught me the difference between "who's" and "whose."

Boggles me brain the Tunnel is still named for this motherfricker Wallace. Like the Ross Barnett Rez In MS. Nola wants to remove civil war monuments. These states have shite named after blatant segregationists.


Wallace renounced his segregationist views.

But I suspect he had no core principles at any point in his career. Neither the over the top racism nor the love he showed his black brothers and sisters was based on anything more than political convenience.
