TIME Magazine Top 100 People Who Shape Our World
TIME Magazine came out with it's 100 People who Shape Our World list in their latest issue. Some notables....
Writer/Director JJ Abrams is the man responsible for bringing us Alias, Lost, and the upcoming Mission:Impossible 3. A great talent.
So Korean pop singer/actor Bi (aka Rain) made it onto the list. I really don't have any comment on him.
Don't know much about scientist Kim Jim Yong, but after reading his write up, I am definitely impressed!
The write up calls Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi a "good looking, straight talking maverick". I call him a trouble maker. He's done lots of things to corrode relations with Korea and China including celebrating war criminals, endorsing inaccurate school textbooks, and instigating a battle over Dokdo Island that very well may end up in violence. Yeah, great job.
It's scary how much power Oprah has. I was just talking about this with Wayne's World over the weekend. It's like Middle America won't make a decision without her okay. I've never watched an entire episode of Oprah in my life and don't really intend to. I give her credit for appearing not to be full of herself for the most part, but it's sad that a talk show host has so much influence. What's even scarier is that TIME Magazine lists her under "Leaders and Revolutionaries" along with world leaders and other people who really do have an impact on our lives besides telling us what book to read.
There's no denying what golfer Michelle Wie has accomplished off the course, if not on it. This marketing dynamite is talented, attractive, and charismatic and will probably spawn a whole generation of young female golfers.
Angeline Jolie....just because.
Franz Beckenbauer is one of the best soccer players in the history of the game. He is a former coach of the German national team and now oversees the World Cup Organizing Committee which his country will host this year. A soccer legend.

Bi, BI, I voted for Bi in this Time magazine poll. Good to see him on, but, I gotta’ agree with the Time article regardng whether his English album’ll hit it; other East Asians have tried. That and how he represents the face of acts ‘round the globe that’s starting to get some notice by mainstream media. I mean, if he makes it big here, more power to him, and, quite frankly, it’ll be quite interesting to see him take the stage on a TRL or something.
Michelle Wie is . . . she’s just a terrific human being, period. Giving her earnings from her first (of many, of course) $10 million payday to charity was a great act of humanity. She ain’t even in college (which she’ll get her pick of, most likely), yet! So, come on, say it with me ‘cause you’re feeling it too: I’m jealous. Heh. She’s gonna’ feel really great once she wins that first championship (and it WILL be done, I’ll say, soon). And, she’s from Hawaii, too! All the best to Michelle Wie!
Agree with Myong on Dr. Jim Yong Kim. The guy’s doing some very important work. Admittedly, and if you ask me, he helps negate the guffaws that would’ve normally been met with the mention of South Korean science if cloning was supposed to be the only contribution from there. In any case, this planet needs more competent science; shouldn’t ALL Docs be like Dr. Kim?
Hey, now, I like Koizumi. He’s a partner in the war on terror. He gets a bad rap regarding his visits to Yasukuni Shrine. Not every soldier laid to rest there is a labeled war criminal. Relatives of any soldier from any country shouldn’t be prevented from honoring their fallen soldier, especially in a country whose religious rituals involve ancestor worship (unless this layman is getting it totally wrong). Heck, at least the labeling’s DONE with regard to those Japanese military criminals. Japan’s military is, and will be for a long time if not forever, a self-defense force, and they sure earned that distinction and won’t be, like those at rest at Yasukuni, hurting anybody anytime soon.
What I’m wondering is how the important lesson of the ubiquitous “evil Japanese soldier from WWII” somehow didn’t manage – with the aid of decades no less – to reach his post World War II counterparts from the very East Asian countries complaining about him – or am I misunderstanding the Tianenmen Square incident? The Kwangju Massacre in South Korea?
And, heh, enough with the incorrect textbooks already. If Japan’s board of education, or whatever they got there, refuse to see that they’ll only end up with a headache with questions along the lines of “many other sources have indicated that . . .” courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Internet? That’s their headache.
Michelle is a great person, but really - I'd like to see her win on the LPGA tour before she takes on the men.
What's the point of potentially beating men when she can't really beat women?
One step at a time, Michelle. I think we forget how young she is. There's a lot of time.
