A List
Mimus Pauly over at skippy’s place is soliciting entries for a list of the 100 greatest Americans.
Personally I have felt that the greatest Americans are those who have what it takes to survive and raise a family. They are generally not known outside of a small circle of family and friends, but they pay the taxes and provide the sweat that has made the United States a country.
Consider that Napoleon’s life would have been exceedingly short without an army willing to follow his orders.
