The World Most Influential People

The list is of people who made an impact on the 20th C - even if Blair was to make it, he'd be 21st C. And Carnegie was 19th C.

Logie Baird is a suprising omission. Diana should be there - whatever you think of the (censored) woman, she's iconic to a suprising amount of the world.

I can't believe Chomsky isn't on the list. He refuted Skinner's language acquisition model, revolutionized linguistics, and paved the way for modern cognitive science. What a shame.

The list isn't of poeple around. Lucille Ball, Ray Kroc, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Ford......... are all long gone. Where's Andrew Carnagie?

None of them are on the Time 100.
