Which of the following people would you say is the most admirable: Mother Teresa, Bill Gates or Norman Borlaug?
Why include some random unknown person with the likes of Mother Teresa and Norman Borlaug?

I would pick, Norman. You will remember he was that old guy in the movie On Golden Pond. Mother Teresa is dead and some unflattering things have come out about her relationship with God. Bill Gates, well he is just wealthy trying to save the World. Now, Norman was entertaining, my type of man. Old.

I think the jury is still out on Gates. Time will tell depending on what he continues to do with his foundation. Mother Teresa, no! Anyone who is quoted as saying they feel closest to God while watching people die kind of freaks me out. I think today, it has to be Bourlag. Didn't he introduce nitrogen into fertilizer to allow for more fertile soils? Maybe not? If he did what I think he did, this has been one of the greatest discoveries of our lifetime on a global level. But, he may eventually be hurdled by Gates! By the way, Yeah, I'm positng on your blog!
