A Sad Day in History / The Birth of a New Tradition


In memory of the late Steve Jobs, I request a moment of silence ..................... Thank you. October 5th marks a sad day in history as the world lost who I believe to be the Benjamin Franklin of your generation. That reminds me, I must call Ben. He's supposed to do a guest post for this blog.

Mr. Job's passing has inspired me to create a new posting tradition: T. Paine's Top 5. This edition of T. Paine's Top 5? Heroes.

T. Paine's Top 5 Heroes

5. Chuck D. of Public Enemy
4. Thomas Jefferson
3. T. Paine!
2. Steve Jobs
1. A TIE! Howard Schultz/Tom Hanks

Nothing less than Clover (TM) for this gentleman.
Oh, I cried and cried.

  1. I too, was especially sad at Job’s passing. It made me stop and take stock at how important his genius was to the world. Looking back at old clips of him speaking 20 years ago about what he envisioned for this world (and ultimately what he succeeded in giving us) it’s amazing. True Genius.
