Time's lame-ass "Person of the Year" has been the subject of much disgusted eye-rolling recently.
In case you haven'e heard, they gave it to "You". Well, you and I technically.
I don't know about you, but I don't want it.
This is the same award Time Magazine has given to Adolph Hitler and George W. Bush.
Not exactly esteemed company.
Personlly, I think that they should have given "Person of the Year" to the Amish in Lancaster, PA.
But apparently, that is just me.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams, speech at the Pennsylvania State House, August 1, 1776

You aren't the only one. I think it's a fabulous sugggestion for Person Of The Year.
I'm an atheist and have been essentially hostile toward relgion since 9/11 - but the Amish, in their response to the killings, transcended mere religion. It was inspirational and very, very moving.
I like the post you wrote before this one, as well. Very well said - and I quite agree.
