Not to take anything away from the Rogue's Gallery of choices, but I voted for 'Other'.

I have Rupert Murdoch in mind. To me, the most dangerous people are those who control the flow of information. They have the greatest opportunity to affect what people think about and what they think about what they think about.

Without a doubt. A man I stay awake at night wondering what devilish plots he is creating in pursuit of world domination:

Good call. I heard he is in control of about 90% of satellite TV in China and some likewise dominant share of India as well.

The posters so far seem to agree with me, but the votes in the poll indicate GW Bush is the clear 'favorite'. I'm disappointed none of the voters has posted why they think George is more dangerous than Rupert.

Younger than the mountains but older than some trees ...

DW, I always assumed you were in my age group because I usually disagree with people who are aroiund ny age - usually - and the only thing you and I ever agreed aboout was the fact that red dog is a nutty fruit loop ... but that was a no-brainer.

Kangnamdragon, respect from a sometime adversary is even more valuable than the adoration of the many (or few) who might agree, and you will be accurate to consider that respect returned with interest. There have been more than a dozen times when I had sincere questions about Catholic teachings and doctrine, and you took time out of your day to teach me something ... and even if I will never agree and convert out of my agnosticism, I love you as a man for taking that time to say one or two things that have expanded my view of the world.

And there have been more than a few times that I have responded to your posts, KD, in ways that made me think later "Ah, that was too harsh and I shouldn't have done that," and your response was to simply let it go - I've met you so I know you are much younger than I am, yet I hope to one day find that same level of maturity that you display in such instances.

Stuff like that is why I keep comng around to these forums. Glad we are both here, KD.

Back on topic, despite whatever ambitions I might have and in spite of the fact that I was not included in the poll, Geo W Bush is a MUCH more dangerous man than I am.

And Teufelswacht, when are we going to have that beer?

Looks like I may be comin' up to the big city in May or early June. I'm gonna need a guide to the uh... finer establishments and was hoping I might press upon you, kind sir, to assist me. The first several rounds are on me.

If that doesn't work out, you know you have a standing invitation down here on the Hawaii of Korea.

If I'm heading your way I'll give you a shout so we can link up.

Take care.

>. Is that a pic of Bobster ??? Laughing

Interesting. Too bad he smokes mind you. Damn cancer sticks ... *cough* ... *hack* ...

Back now to the topic at hand.

Most of those named are pretty much all in the same league. Capable of comitting the most heinous acts, provided the ends are felt to justify the means. Perpetually seeking to capitalize on an order rising from out of chaos.

The Bush / Bin Laden family crime syndicate is each merely the opposite side of the same coin. Surprised

There is an interesting article in the Morally and Intellectually Bankrupt thread, posted by Canukistan and written by RF Kennedy, Jr. It's about the problem in the media. He covers the trend in radio, TV and newspapers.

Worth a read.
