5 People the World Could Use Right Now

A variant of another thread (5 People the World Could Live Without).

It's easy to say you don't like so-and-so, and therefore the world would be better off without. I had this thought in my head, and thought it would be more challenging to make a list of people the world needs.

If you could resurrect any five people that would help and better the lot of mankind at the moment, who would they be?

Any person from history - religious, philosophers, leaders, scientists, artists, musicians, anyone...

1 - Jesus
2 - John the Baptiser
3 - St. Paul
4 - Ghandi
5 - Ronald Reagan

Just cruising around and found this... Interesting question, but can I come up with five...

Mother Theresa
Sigmund Freud
Martin Luther King Jnr
James Dean
Kriishnamurti

Just curious - Why Freud?

Is it because the world is oversexed and full of pervs and coke addicts, like he was? He was one sick puppy.

-David Ben-Gurion
-Ghandi
-Jesus
-Einstein
-JFK

hehe...weird. 4 out of my 5 choices made at least one appearance in all the previous lists.
anyway, in no particular order:

Martin Luther King
Ghandi
Mother Teresa
John F. Kennedy
Bob Marley

1. Gandhi.
2. Jesus.
3. Einstein.
4. Martin Luther King.
5. Mother Teresa.






-tts

1. Jesus
2.Mother Teresa
3. Gahndi
4. Einstein
5. Another Brilliant mind...

Yes a few are already done, but oh well:

1. Ghandi
2. Jesus
3. Einstein
4. Winston Churchill (ie someone who can run britain when we are at war with someone)


Can't think of a fifth.

I think Jesus is the only person we NEED these days, but to list 5:

1. Jesus Christ
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Gen. George S. Patton
4. Frank Sinatra
5. My Grandfather

LOL Interesting thought, but no. Freud, though a coc aine addict was the father of psychoanalysis and despite the obvious controversy of his theories, quite a few people including myself believe in the basic tenet of it. If he was alive now it would be interesting to see what he thought now, not only on his but also on Anna's. I would love to see how he would/could improve upon his original theory.

Cheers

4. James the Just

I don't think I need resurrecting just yet, unless there is something your not telling me.

You do it every second of everyday... every time you recall what 'red' is... every time you recall where you left your car keys...

Brad Nowell
Jimi Hendrix
Layne Staley
Kurt Cobain
David Reilly

King Leonidas of Sparta
George Washington
General Chesty Puller
Ronald Reagan
James Madison

In order of importance, I call them the Freedom Fighting Five!
