Nope. Can't vote for Adolf.

The header says 'contribution'. I can't vote for somebody who made a 'contribution' by being evil. I'd vote for the dude that tried to blow him up before I voted for Adolf.

If it were up to me, I would vote for artists [writers, painters, filmmakers, etc.], people who invented good stuff and discovered good stuff, and leaders who had a very widespread positive influence on the society around them. William Shockley, MLK, Toshitada Doi, Picasso, Jonas Salk, Nelson Mandela, Alexander Fleming, J. Georg Bednorz, Orville and Wilbur, Churchill, like that. There's gotta be some women, too, but none come to my mind right off hand.

Influence was not the only criterion. I would be interested in hearing you argue their constructive influence, though.....
