Why Should Thurgood Marshall be the person of the year?

Thurgood Marshall died in 1993.  Isn't it a little late to nominate him for person of the year?

I don't think so .. I think there are a lot better actors than him out there that should be inducted....

It will ultimatley be decided on whether he is successful in his objectives.  Short term unpopularity is not despostive to historical greatness.  President Lincoln was one of the most unpopular presidents in his day, but now he is widely considered a great president.

The question is so subjective that it beggars belief. But on a more open basis, I would certainly nominate someone whose personality has totally defied logic in its manner of  sheer exuberance.\n\nMy personality of 2006, must go to the celebrated reclusive American writer and poet, Linda J Cirillo, author of the acclaimed poem,"The Dance".\n\nPoetry at its mesmerisingly best.

The man will go down in history as one of the greatest American Presidents. The reason? For staring down evil! You should have some respect for one of the greatest leaders this world has ever seen.

Consider Mother Teresa, the Dali Lama, Winston Churchill, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Alexander Graham Bell  .... there are so many to choose from.  Pick someone that you think no one else will pick, which will make your report stand out from the others.

I would say FDR. Because of helping to get the US out of the depression and creating Social Security. Even though it's that great it sure helps. And the only President to go three terms.

yes I would. He has a spotless record. The man truly understands and defends the constitution. He is a fine American and I welcome his presence on the high court. Not to mention I admire the way he has delt with his opposition. They really make themselves look bad pounding the same issues and trying to lead him into traps he is far to smart to fall for. His articulation and intelligence shines even brighter next to those dim bulbs that oppose him.

Not in this time and era. I would like just one person to be for the people that was elected by the people. Great leadership is non existent in today's America. All I have left to do is pick by party, and pick the lesser of the two evils. Good question.

Andre Ware won in 1989 to be come 1st black QB. The year Jim Brown definitely should have won it, it was given to the golden boy Paul Hornung of Notre Dame.

I would pick Ronald Reagan. He was a great guy.

Someone that loves his country more then power , wants to see that every person living here gets a fair shake . Stands up for this country against our enemy's , looks out for the weak as well as the strong , is honest with the American People , has integrity , truthful and won't lie to us even if we don't want to hear it . The American people  should come first before Corporations . Have experts to advise him and listen to them

It's between Lincoln and FDR because they led the country through its greatest crises and never backed down. A great president is measured through how he leads in tough times because tough times don't last, tough people do. Being a knowledgeable, strong commander in chief, and knowing how to manage spending by the government are also included. There are many debates about who is the greatest and most times your just choosing the lesser of two evils. These two are the obvious choices when you look at history. I would love to put JFK in here but the fact is he was taken from the people before he could fulfill his dream. You could argue the failures of Lincoln and Roosevelt as well but no one goes through this lifetime w/o failing. For the great ones, failure is why they succeed.

me too. I think they just gave it to him so he would perform...I can see giving him a lifetime achievement award or something because he is good but come on!
