Leaving W, Senior, Obama, and Palin out of this ....

I don't condone killing, but, I am sure we have some common feelings about some people the world would be better off with had they never been born (ie - Hitler). List your top three (fact or even ficticious characters, dead or alive), off the top of your head, and why. And on the flipside, list the top three you are grateful the world got to see, and why. There will be more, I am sure, but don't put too much research into it. I just want to know who you are thinking about presently. List your age and country too, if you feel like it. I am interested in seeing the generational and locational differences. PEOPLE I WISH WE NEVER HAD. 1. James Dobson. He tells 200 million listeners that homosexuality is a choice, when medical and psychiatric groups have already stated otherwise. He says it is not natural, though nature has seen it in 450 species (mammals, too) and counting. He has a facility that abuses children, brainwashes them, and horrifies them back into the closet. He says homosexuality is a reparable mental disorder, but his facility is leading more kids into the suicidal path. Suppressing who you really are comes with grave consequences. 2. Ronald McDonald, the brainchild of McDonald's restaurants. America is the fattest nation, and McDonalds uses Ronald McDonald to lure our children in because he is a clown, and they have the happy meals with those cute toys. More children recognize Ronald McDonald than they do the president and the caricature of jesus. McDonalds employs some of the worst factory farming practices in the fast food industry. 3. The men who framed Oswald. JFK would have been an excellent president, would have taken our troops out of Vietnam sooner, and would have helped secure equality for our citizens faster. Meanwhile, we are nearing 46 years after his death, and we are still fighting for equal rights in our nation. He is probably turning over in his grave knowing that some schools still had segregated proms in the 1990s. ------------- Top 3 people I am thankful for 1. Rosa Parks. She gave a level or realism to who she was as a person. A citizen who wanted to sit down. The bus driver told her she had to sit in the back of the bus to make room for a white passenger. Other people also refused to move to the back of the bus, but for some reason Park's action sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. 2. Margaret Cho. She is a comedienne who does great advancement for the glbt community, and the liberals. 3. Madonna. She has helped to embrace sexuality, and she has helped with humanitarian efforts, particularly in Milawi, where one million children have been orphaned, having lost their parents to Aids. Many of those kids are infected with Aids themselves, or are raising their four year old siblings, when they are nine. Few of them go to school, or eat, or live in clean shelter. Had I never seen the movie, "I am because we are" I would have been blind to the whole issue at hand. Obviously, I have more on either side (Harvey Milk, Dr. King, and reverse - Limbaugh, Beck, Anita Bryant, etc), I just want to know who first comes to your mind and why you feel that way. I am turning 31 on Monday and live in California (blue state) that was recently ravaged by the LDS church of Utah.
