    Congrats Greta! You’re in good company! 


    She’s a thousand times a better human than the Baffoon will ever be!and that’s being generous ...
    I’m not really comparing the two of them. I just think it’s strange that she got the same award that he did four years ago. She’s being honored for her activism I guess, so what were they honoring him for? His Nazi-like campaign?
    I don't think it's really a "best of" type of adulation. it's more of a "most influential/most talked about" type of thing. At least that's how I thought of it. 

    You are correct - Time's Person of the Year is definitely not an award, more of an acknowledgement

    For example : 

    Adolf Hitler Man of the Year 1938 by Magazine Time
    Fair enough. So it’s an acknowledgment of newsworthy people even if it’s negative. So it doesn’t really seem like a recognition that gets celebrated much. Unless you love the recipient I guess.

    Greta, the youngest of my heroes to date.  I list her among my other heroes: Greta, Wendell Berry, Temple Grandin, Captain Paul Watson, Terry Tempest Williams, Daniel Suelo, Richard Manning, and, of course, Bob Ross.
       

    Oh wait a minute... I meant Henry Rollins, of course!

    Inspiring to adults and young people alike. There are so many better things we could be doing. Thank you, Greta.

    Start a safe space thread if you need it.  We don't want you hurting.   Gosh.
