Faulty Lists:

HuffPost should have been one of the options to vote for in the Politics category imo.

The 'game changers' must be,after all, the millions of users funding the investment of technology that resulted in this practical technology. And if you walk that back, it's the tech companies that are the game changers.

The only game changer I'm interested in is that future person responsible for single payer.

Alan Grayson got most of his national exposure by supporting Ron Paul's audit the fed, so why is Grayson such a game changer and not Paul? Without Paul, he wouldn't be where he is right now.

Ricky Gervais is an obvious candidate. He doesn't fuss about his content being available on youtube and, as he often mentions, has the most downloaded podcast of all time.

whats a "game changer"?

Did you see "We Are Marshall"? The "game changer" is the guy who says "We cannot be defeated! Grab glory!". But you have to say it convincingly enough that people lift their heads up in a spirit of determination to settle for nothing less than the best. Also, everyone must already be paying attention to you when you say it, or it doesn't matter how convincing you sounded.

Saw Shaq on Oprah, and he was driving an 18-wheeler he call the Shaq mobile. Hmmm.

Affirmations are good . . . but they are not necessarily truisms . . .
