This is a topic where each day, I will post about someone who deserves recognition. (It's usually someone underrated). It could be from history, current events, or etc.
And please, don't hi-jack this thread. Each day, I will post a new person. You're welcome to discuss the person in question, but when the next day rolls around, start discussing about a new one.
Gimme a few seconds to get my first entry up...

You're going to do this for a few days and then forget about it, but I'll play along.

Day #1:
Person of Day #1: Henry Ford
Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was the founder of the Ford Motor Company. He was one of the first to apply assembly line manufacturing to the mass production of affordable automobiles. This achievement not only revolutionized industrial production in the United States and the rest of the world, but also had such tremendous influence over modern culture that many social theorists identify this phase of economic and social history as "Fordism." Some credit him with contributing to the creation of a middle class in American society.-Wiki
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.-Henry Ford
Why was the American people so wealthy in comparison? It's because of the fact that we were paid well, and we had such a prosperous system of manufacturing. Henry Ford was VERY influential onto many aspects of American Life, and was responsible for a great deal of our prosperity. Horribly underated.

I was robbed!
Isn't there all sorts of anti-union, anti-jew, pro-nazi stuff associated with him?
You forgot to mention that he was an eminent racist.

A product of his time?
You forgot to mention that he was an eminent racist.
And a fascist to boot.*

Yeah, fascists were mass-produced in assembly-line factories.
Well of course it would be Ford. Who else could it possibly be?
Pass the Soma, please.

Well that makes sense. You'd have to be made that way. Excuse my ignorance on the subject.

So was F.D.R.

You did not get my joke, and so assumed that I'd believe there are no fascist but born fascists. But, that's ok. You're a product of your time.
So was F.D.R.
Oh. Did he publish books on the subject, like Ford did?
And wasn't Roosevelt the one to allow Blacks to enlist? The one to stop segregation in federal buildings?
You must be thinking of Wilson.

And FDR was a twat, too.
Ford had good ideas (about industry and marketting, anyone who believes in Jew conspiracies is short a few watts, with the exception being those people, such as myself, who spread the word about JESUSBOMB) though, and he is indirectly responsible for The Brave New World, so he is pretty nifty in my book.
