  2. Romans 13:4 - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

  14. 1.George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk (covering the Mexican War like Henry VI part 1 covered the Hundred Years War and Henry V covered the victory at Agincourt), Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover (Tragedy, perhaps?), FDR, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump. I know his plays mainly spanned the Plantagenet era, so he might focus on certain Preidents from a particular period in US history? 2.Would William Howard Taft be a comic figure? Will Rogers? Huey Long and William Jennings Bryan would make interesting characters. 3.Off-topic, but Shakespeare is said to have had an hand in the play "Sir Thomas More," and since there were several of that genre, a few plays about prominent congressmen, governors, or mayors might exist.
  15. 1.I would have liked to see Pope Innocent III on the list, but I guess suggestions are for the end. 2.I considered Pyotr Tchaikovsky, but I don't think he'll rank in the top 100. 3.I feel Pope Francis is an important modern figure, but wouldn't be in the top 100 of historical figures, probably not even the top 1000. 4.I was originally not going to vote for John Paul II, but since he helped end Communism in Eastern Europe (and in hindisght, since his apologies for past misdeeds of the Roman Catholic Church and his meeting with the Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church is significant), I voted for him. 5.I'm surprised Ptolemy got only a few votes.
  16. Concerning question #8, in South Korea, they use a hybrid of both systems.
  17. Please add a vote for Omar Khayyim by me.
  18. Koreans too. Confucius, Mencius, Lao-tze, and Chang-tze had a great influence here.
  19. Wow, I didn't know Taft was better on the economy than Roosevelt.

  21. No wonder his campaign is crazy. Florida Man strikes again.
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Alaska's_at-large_congressional_district_special_election#Polling Judging by a poll here, Santa would have a better chance...
  23. How about Gregory VII or Nicholas I?
  24. Speaking of the Pope, some pope might fit in this list. They were very influential.
