    We didn't steal him. He became a U.S. citizen in 1944.

    well it seems like they opened up a traditional history textbook and pulled the list from there. i'm seriously surprised over wilson, not just because he was openly racist (which had an impact on our society--increase in violence), but the interventionist aspect being painted so positively. wow.

    they really played it safe with the ladies, with margret sanger being a possible exception. i'd throw alice paul on the list. she's my favorite suffragist. and what about that socialist hellen keller? ;)

    Good ole' margaret sanger, that eugenicist.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Yah he did because his wife was Jewish and he was fleeing the Nazi.

    I mean come on...you can't claim Eistein or Fermi as American scientists, that's just ridiculous.

    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    If he was a US citizen he was an "American". Get over yourself.
