I was really scared this might have to do with the right wing movement of idiots who call themselves the “tea party” but I’m glad its not.

I’d say there is no particular person who inspires me. I find that everyone has faults. Major ones at that. Gandhi was extremely racist against Africans but also had great ideas for revolution and rebellion. Nixon was a brilliant politician but was also quite unscrupulous and at many times, racist against Indians. I’d say that in terms of ethics, I’d go with A.Hamilton. He found a way to disassociate his politics from his personal views. He hated Jefferson but still sided with him when necessary. In terms of pure intellectual genius, I’d actually go ahead and say Stalin. I admire his intellect but not his ethics or his mannerisms. He was a brilliant man but had a LOT of flaws (like killing billions of his own countrymen). I guess his INT rating was high but his WIS was pretty damn low.

To the dude below:

Where would you like to live if income wasnt an issue?
