Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:21pmI don't find it odd that Ronnie's on there. I think that if there was a greatest Brits, you'd find Maggie, and a greatest Popes, you'd find JP2. Anyone associated with the end of the Cold War would make a finals list.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:23pmAgreed... FDR should be #6 - either that or drop one of the colonial guys...

Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:24pmI didn't look at the link. I just assumed F.D.R. was on it. I don't care what they say. The answer is F.D.R.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:41pmREAGAN??? Out of all the Americans, Reagan makes the top five??? I would replace him with Harriet Tubman. There should be a woman on the list.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 4:22pmAh, I have a huge soft spot for Ben Franklin. The overachiever of the Founding Fathers, and that's saying something.

Princess Diana ranked higher than Shakespeare, Newton, or Elizabeth I? What kind of crack were the voters on?
Oh, that's right. "No sense of history" crack. Argh.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 4:38pmThat's not a good thing to say. You don't know how much she did and what she stands for. Diana was an amazing person, selfless and caring. What gives you the right to drag her down?
