"When you think of the Greatest American, what single person - living or dead - comes to mind as its best example? Someone who seized opportunities, saw things in a different way, or stood out in a crowd? Someone who demonstrated determiniation, vision, and hard work? This person could be an inventor, explorer, entertainer, entrepreneur, or athlete. He or she may have changed the way we think, work, or live. They may have challenged us, delighted us, or outtraged us, and ultimately helped us define what it means to be an American… Who do YOU most identify as THE GREATEST AMERICAN?"

NOW… how about my grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles…

This is going to 8 lists or so I belong to, with probably a combined membership of over a couple thousand separate individuals…. Who know a few dozen thousand more folks…

Can we flood this place and control who gets Number 1?????

I was thinking along the lines of Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Iron Eyes Cody, Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Chief Dan George….. You get the idea… :)

There are so many ….

Perhaps this will open doors to the blind eyes and deaf ears….

I await the flood of suggestions…. Perhaps the Moderators/owners could do a poll or something????

Anyway.. Not sure of the deadline on this…

Peace and Fair Journeys….

“The wolf, now an endangered species, has become a symbol of all that is right and in harmony with nature. It is modern man who in his ignorance has been wrong and out of step with nature. Not the wolf.”

Michael W. Fox, The Wolf (1989 )

"Didn't the farmers around Gorkiy tell you that it is the wolf you do not see that you must fear? -Marko Alexandrovich Ramius"

"If you talk to the animals, they will know you and you will know each other... If you do not talk to them you will not know them... What you do not know you fear. What one fears they DESTROY...

To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see into your own soul-hope you like what you see. -Aldo Leopold
"...for the strength of the Pack is the Wolf and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack..." Rudyard Kipling

"If you don't want the truth, dont ask.. go make up your own like everyone else" Eddie Wilson

"A lot of things will catch your eye, but only a few will catch you heart...pursue them, for they may not be around to pursue very long"

"Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like you do when nobody's watching."

"there are 3 kinds of men. Those who listen, those who learn by observation... and those that just have to pee on the electric fence and find out themselves. "

"What we do in this life, will echo in eternity" - General Maximus Decimus Meridus

Wisdom shows me I'm Nothing, Love shows me I'm Everything,
and between the two my life flows. Nisargadatta
