Neither am I.  Pity that time doesn't run backwards  :P

If time ran backward, all events could be cancelled out. End result would be that nothing would ever happen. Limbo. I think.

I think you shouldn't limbo running backwards. Something might happen, like bonking your head or pulling a muscle!

For a very brief time in my life I plunged deeply into every last bit of anger and frusteration I had bottled up in my soul. It was raw, emotional, and very powerful. It felt so much like the right thing. How could anything that felt this good, this right, be wrong? I went down that path. But I got rescued. I got snatched. And I had somebody get it into my thick skull that this was WRONG! I changed.

If only you knew the power of the Dark Side... No more emotional constipation!

OK, do you have evidence of this on film, or is this just more liberal rumor mongering!  :D  Or do you mean that this would only be interesting if you had read the list backwards.  How does your reading order influence their . . . well, you get the idea.  :o

:P

In serious terms, it would have been strange since George is the one doing things while Laura isn't. I was thinking that the list was in a 1-100 order of great to less great, so it was strange that the person doing more stuff would be below the person doing less.

Embrace the hate.

Why is Arnold on there? Isn't he Austrian?

What was the name of that guy who had the radio and tv-programme about American history? "Letters from America" or something.

edit: I IMDBed "letters from America" and came back empty. Does anyone remember his name? He might have been British, but if they're accepting Austrians, Britons shouldn't be disqualified.

edit#2: Alistair Cooke was his name, and his series was "Masterpiece Theatre", running from 1971-1993.

No, he is an American. He was born in Austria, grew up there, IIRC served in the Austrian army, and then emigrated to America in the 1960's. He applied for and became a naturalized American citizen. He is also ineligible to be a president, since he was born in Austria. Our law requires native birth.

"Ahnold" is an American, an American citizen and a citizen of the State of California, just as my grandmother and grandfather became Americans, American citizens, by following the legal process to become one.
