"As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky)

About Me
- Myrhaf
- Inland Empire, California, United States
- I graduated from Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California in 1975. Did four years in the USAF as a chinese linguist. Got my BA in Theatre Arts from California State College, San Bernardino. Went through the Professional Program in Screenwriting at UCLA. Have written plays for the stage and comedy for radio morning shows. Lately I've been acting a lot. I've been in shows by Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Edmond Rostand and Maurice Maeterlinck -- not a bad run! People ask, "Why Myrhaf?" Myrhaf is a character in an historical novel I'm writing called Viking Blood. He is a mentor figure who dies in the first chapter. I thought the name would give my blog some style, some flair and a title readers would remember. My real name is William Greeley. Although I am an Objectivist and often write about the philosophy on this blog, I do not speak for anyone but myself. I would urge those who want to learn about Objectivism to read Ayn Rand's novels and nonfiction books and then Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

I voted for Churchill but I see the other voter picked Coolidge.
I voted Coolidge. As Mencken said, he slept for eight years in the White House, which is preferable to what FDR did.
I voted for Coolidge before I saw that you did!
I picked Goldwater. His influence on both Reagan and Gingrich is unmistakable, although a strong argument could be made for Reagan.
Now if I had to pick the most important political figure of the 20th century, I would probably have to choose Lenin.
So far the nine votes have all been for the great ones -- Coolidge, Churchill, Thatcher and Goldwater. Too bad this poll is laughably unscientific; if it represented the wider American opinion, the battle for freedom would be won.
Myrhaf,
If this poll were taken among Americans today, you would get 40% for Reagan, 40% for Clinton, and a smattering for everyone else. :P
