Gem, Happy New Year. 2008 has a nice ring to it.

Thank you for the suggestion, but modesty and humility are so important that they shouldn't be out of sight on the base of an award. I note that Jesus Christ, Gandhi, Mandela are normally considered to be the height of modesty and humility despite their greatness.

I have much more to be modest and humble about than Jesus, Gandhi and Mandela, so those words should be very visible. <Scratch the words humble and modest on the base somewhere. >

No! Humble and modest should be impressively emblazoned on a statue towering miles in the air and not on some trophy plaque.

People passing the statue placed somewhere strategic where they're forced to twice a day must give alms and bow.

This greatness must be politicized so we can all line our pockets.
