The Discovery Channel's greatest person is
Ronald Reagan.
What the fuck?!?! Who are these people? Ronald Reagan over
Abe Lincoln,
Martin Luther King,
Helen Keller, and the rest? I mean, the man was a second rate actor, and a senile president! He went into
repeated wars in Central America,
sold arms to Iran, and
refused to admit AIDS existed for years! I can only assume that there was a massive conservative push to vote for him as much as possible. Internet voting doesn't work, people. Why do we assume that the American people know enough about history to choose something like this? We know the state of American education today, partially as a result of Reagan, ironically. The truly interesting thing would be to follow this piece of shit story up with the same sort of question asked to a bunch of actual historians and such - people who are not ignorant fools - and then
explain why they made those choices and why the choices the American people made are foolish and stupid.
