    Some people hated that she was not old money...and found her wealth from gold.


    What about an old gun fighter. They were famous and always made waves. Say like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickhock. Just some ideas.

    Ralph Nader
    People used to love him when he was working on consumer protection; he accomplished quite a bit and was pretty famous (I think) for it. Then he was blamed for losing the 2000 election to Bush. Now he seems to be regarded as a joke.

    Hitler made a few waves?!
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    You should have at least said Marshal Mathers, or at least somebody who is mildly topical.

    Have you been discussing pop culture with John McCain again, Scott?

    no, not really...was my one joke in a list of serious names...

    McCain has suspended all reasonable conversation until someone else solves the problem related to the financial markets.

    And it's Jerry Mathers (As the beaver!) geez.

    Liberty never came from government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it. Woodrow Wilson, September 9th, 1912

    - Cindy Sheehan
    - Cat Stevens
    - John Carlos and/or Tommie Smith
    - (Good call on Kobe Bryant, JJ)
    - Mychal Judge
    - Nikola Tesla
    - Bobby Knight
    - Ryan White

    I would say above all else, show some uniqueness and creativity. Be a little atypical, and choose somebody that makes for good research, but hasn't already been covered ad nauseum by popular media.

    G'luck, sounds like a fun project.

    Fair enough, but chances are you aren't a big fan of Adolf Hitler either; doesn't mean it won't make for a solid paper. Don't lose focus of the pursuit, before it even starts.

    Maybe, as a little extra challenge pick someone you DON'T like or don't know if you like or not. Being open to other ideas (especially ones that I don't agree with) is one of the best things I got from my education.

    as for someone you hate who likes to make waves, how 'bout Michael Moore
    You could always do the author of A Million Little Pieces & how he claimed the book was true & lied to Oprah.
