Time person of the year is ....

[Yoga Face]

Remember, it is the most influential person(s) not the nicest.

But this year it is the nicest.

Even though it did not happen this year, my vote would have gone to those who risked their lives in the Fukushima nuclear disaster - people do not understand that if meltdown happened Tokyo is gone and the world is changed. Same thing for the Chernobyl disaster. People knowingly got radiation sickness because it was the right thing to do.

But Time is making up for their oversight. Without these folks risking their lives under similar appalling conditions the world is changed for the worse.

The Ebola fighters are Times person of the year

They make me proud to be a human, and they are the best that humanity has to offer, and they ask for nothing in return.

I salute them.

But these folks also are deserving as the Ebola fighters are Times person of the year

A very sound and deserving choice.

Utterly terrifying thing to confront face to face on the ground. Where one tiny slip of wiping sweat from your brow might cost you a horrible lingering death. Heroes for sure.

Considering how these folks charged into the unknown...this is the right choice.

.. and Putin is one of the runner-ups ?!?

Good choice.

Heard on the radio to-day that they want more Ebola survivors (who now have Ebola immunity) to help out in caring for the currently afflicted.
