My exact (pretty much word for word) thoughts.

that list is pretty good IMO... the whole concept of "100 greatest (anything)" is pretty retarded though. but that's alot better (flawed) list than for example some of the ones that say like "100 greatest novels" and it'll have like toni morrison on there atlas shrugged as # 1 and then maybe put crime and punishment on there at like # 63 or something.

Great list... there's too many to really do this and make people satified. I think you did a good job though.

Why's JFK on the list but Franklin and Lincoln get only honorable mention? They were far more significant than JFK, and it's easy to prove this:

Lincoln's on the penny. Not worth a lot but, thanks to taxes, an important part of most cash transactions. Franklin's on the $100 note. Worth more than the penny and plays a large role in commerce, legal or otherwise.

What's JFK on? The 50 cent piece. No one uses those. The only time you see them is offers of special mintings on tv.
