You must excuse me when I am philosophical but I think unless I know them in person, how can I say I admire or revile a person? There are people I admire and revile because I really know them in person and have a fist-hand reason to admire and revile them. Otherwise, most celebrities could be portrayed as rotten or remarkable people but in reality they are neither.

Interestingly, I do not include Einstein, Galileo or Newton in my list...I do not value physics and physic-geeks highly. Same would go for Stephen Hawkin...all great people...but I've put a racing car driver ahead of them.



I must be shallow.

That is NOT the basis for admiration!!! That's like the victim's of ISIS saying they admire their executioners!!!

Senna? He was a reckless driver wasn't he? Always going just a little faster that was safe?



Galileo told the Church to go stuff it. Einstein warned the US about the Nazis building atomic bombs, and Newton, well he was apparently an arrogant jerk. I can relate to that. hahaha =)))
