    Someone recently posted the man of the year award. Well, here's an article that I came across and would like you to view. The title is, "Man Of The Year Is Everyman In Anybody Town" by Judith Moriarty

    When I first viewed the newspaper article it had a picture of Hitler's face on Time magazine in 1938 as the 'Person of the year.' In 1939 as well as 1942, Time Magazine had Jos. Stalin as the 'Person of the year.'

    I emailed JM asking if this is the case. She said, yes and will forward me copies of the pictures.

    What say you?

    Golf, I don't have time at the moment to look at your link. But as for Hitler, etc being person of the year in their day, I guess any infamous person could be the talk of everyone for good or bad reasons.

    Flyinghighnow, you'll get the drift of the article when you read it. Thanks for the comments. How many lives have been sacrificed under Hitler and Stalin?

    Okay, I got home from work and have just now read the article. I agree with the author. I also agree with her feelings about GW Bush as well, here is an excerpt from the article you linked to:

    "My man of the year is Everyman who lives in Anybody town. He's not into designer duds, facials, $200.00 haircuts, private clubs, hair implants, gilded boardrooms, yacht races, golf tournaments, or casino haunts. He doesn't smoke expensive imported cigars, wear lizard cowboy boots, ride on private or corporate jets, or have his shirts custom made. He doesn't speak in legalese, Orwellian, double-speak-or corporate jargon. He's not coddled and protected with armored limousines, concrete barriers, and legions of guards, fences, helicopters, and metal detectors. He was never bailed out or protected by money or connections; from the consequences of his actions. He was never pampered, or supplied with all his monetary and materialistic needs (and desires).
    My man of the year is Everyman who lives in Anybody town. He doesn't lie, cheat, defraud, or pollute his neighbor (or the world) for profit. He doesn't send men off to war with no equipment (or junk). He doesn't plunder forests, dump nuclear waste in oceans, use depleted uranium in weapons (poisoning soldiers and civilians), nor send the young to die for conquest and oil. He doesn't cut veterans benefits, or eat at banquet meals, while those who fight eat canned slop and their families exist on food stamps. He doesn't tell people that God has ordered him to shred the limbs from children-destroy a whole land with horrifying weapons-torture people-nor wall people in from their land and the light! He doesn't lie and tell people that jobs are plentiful or insanely tell them to train for another career at age 50; with scarred calloused hands from the mines and the mills! He doesn't see the elderly choosing between food-fuel and medicine.
    My man of the year is Everyman who lives in Anybody town. He's not into awards, accolades (not earned), medals, photo-ops, gala inaugurations, dinners, balls, banquets, fund raisers, fancy titles, selected office, obscene pensions, nor gyrating buffoons at pretend conventions. "

    As for Hitler and Stalin, it staggers the mind to think that these men, between them, ordered the deaths of countless millions of people. We humans can be so easily dazzled. We exJWs know this only too well.

    Flyinghighnow,thanks for posting a part of the article. It was an interesting story about Gary Webb. I double checked if the pictures of Hitler and Stalin (twice) were on the cover of Times, they were.

    it's not an award! it's just about persons who had a big impact on world history. at least that's what the whole "person of the year" thingy was ment to be.

    googlemg, true, I agree. By the way, did you read the entire article? What caught my attention are the pictures of Hitler and Stalin on Time magazine, persons of the year? Does this ring any bells to you?

    googlema, the newspaper reads, "TIME Presents Person Of The Year Award." Why does Time insert the word 'Award' for?
