    Simply wondering who is your idol and why?

    Mine is Hunter S. Thompson. The man was a genius in his own right. Wrote two of my favourite books( Fear and Loathing, and the Rum Diaries). Pioneered Gonzo Journalism and was an all around top man.:cool:

    Stephen, MLK, Malcolm, Che, Bobby, Rosa, ...
    All of them shaped the world around them rather than being shaped by it.

    Malcolm in the middle is a good show, but that's a bit much
