My apologies. I embedded the wrong video. 12/17/09
Reminder, persons of the year are not always heroes. Quite often, they have been villans. The tradition started in 1927 and has featured people who have influenced the world, not necessarily in a good way. Click to see past selections.
Who is your favorite ‘person of the year?’ Who is your least favorite? Do you have your own story to tell? Who is the only person to be selected 3 times? When did the selection switch from Man of the Year to Person of the Year?
My personal favorite: Lech Walesa. A man who stood up to one of the most egregious political tyrannies in history and became a true hero of the Polish people.
I had forgotten all about him, Wolverine. He was one of my favorites also back at his peak of glory. I always wondered by the soviets didn’t just bump him off. They imprisoned far more notorious people than him.
Hopefully the video is more enjoyable now it isn’t about climate change. Sorry about that. I don’t know how it happened other than embedded code for videos is gobbledy goop and I simply didn’t see it was the wrong video.
