That Doesn't Represent ME!

The title is the topic.
I'm gonna let this go into every topic.
It doesn't matter what it is.
For my own part, I've argued that the people blowing up children on a school bus doesn't represent Islam. See? I'm not above it!
We live in a world of extremes.
The thong wearing cowboys (yum!) of the "Gay Pride" marches don't represent Gay Pride, but much of me wishes they did.
The Jesus humping, hate-all-queers types of the NeoRepublican movement do not represent the Republican Party. (maybe)
The Rev. Jim Jones does not represent Christians.
So I'm asking you now ... who could represent your party or religion or personal beliefs or whatever?
I have 2:
1] Malcolm X can represent Islam for me. Not the Malcolm X of his younger days, but after Hajj ... ElHajj Malik is a great spokesman for me as a Muslim.
2] I am Bisexual, and for that I'll accept Truman Capote or Oscar Wilde. (Good Luck)
3] As a Jew, Mel Brookes! :D
As a whole, though, I must go with Abbie Hoffman. (Certain Vietnam Era folks will hate me for that ... I'm lookin' at you, Eutrsuca!) :D

1] C.S. Lewis for my religion.
2] I'm straight.... so any upstanding straight member of society (not a degenerate mind you) would be fine for that category.
3] As a white man... oh fudge... well, I suppose anyone not terribly bland would do for that.
On the whole, I'm going to go with Ignatius J. Reilly.
2] I am Bisexual, and for that I'll accept Truman Capote
His voice kills me, but, never the less, he and Oscar were gay, so get your own bisexually confused representatives and stop stealing ours, you wishy-washy fence-sitter!
For all those, oh, so, sensitive bisexuals bound not to get it: This is a bad joke.

(sorry, poor taste)Hey!
Abbie Hoffman was a bi-polar, tree hugging, lsd droppin, knappy haired hippie, but I didn't bash him, did I?
Ooh, I like this topic.
For my political Party Choice: Well, Abraham Lincoln. I think he was Republican, at least. Have to look that up.
For my political alignment: Robert A. Heinlein. Specifically, I am a Rational Anarchist. :)
For sexuality, race, and religion: Johnny Cash.
Johnny Cash was like Cowboy Toilet paper. He didn't take shit from anyone. :D

I had/have a minor issue, ABC or CNN one of those -- erm -- news channels -yah- did a piece on computer addition in teenagers. I was understandably intriuged I thought " Hey! I'am a teenager, and I'am on my computer 1/2/day on average! " The article however turned out to be splooge, they interviewed the "giddy " schoolgirl types who say stuff like " I couldn't live without my cell phone " and indeed sure enough some bitch said that and they took her quite seriously :headbang: so, I'd like to shout the following:

Russell crowe does not represent me as a New Zealander...
Australia have taken him now anyway, so it's ok ;)
For americans, I bring forth the following person as your representative:

This is meant as a joke, though I like it.
[EDIT] Why won't it show up as a picture? :(
I even have the right coding.

What a fascinating topic! Let me see. I think it is too difficult to categorise people by 'race' (we're all homo sapiens sapiens - no other human race exists on this planet), religion, sexual orientation, etc. So the one who would represent me best would be some human (male or female) of some ethnic origin (African, American, Asian, Australian, European), with some sexual orientation (although I am too polite or disinterested to ask such a personal question); some one who is short or tall or average, but someone who is intelligent. Yes, intelligence is the sine qua non and honest. I do not want a representative to force his/her beliefs down my throat. Otherwise, I really don't care.

At one time there was a bumper sticker that went around that said:
"A person of tolerance and diversity keyed my car."

It's simple.
The whole human race and animal kind does NOT represent me.
