Add your thoughtsPersonally I think that there are people who have had a huge influence on humanity worldwide, but they never sought fame nor fortune and so are unknown to the general public.
In my life- 'me', of course. :P
In everyone else's Bill F---ing Gates.
Paul-Henri Spaak, IMHO, must be a contender. I've written more at http://davecole.org/blog/2008/05/18/the-most-influential-post-war-figure/.
Simone de Beauvoir.
Harvey Lee Oswald
If I have to pick from this lot I'm going with Bill Gates although personally I am very grateful to the sage advice and common sense provided by (I believe that fourth person to be he but am not absolutely sure)Dr Spock whose book was very influential in my life.
THOMAS EDISON!
My goodness there are a few here.
