You said: Well I reckon Putin does decide all the world's elections, right?

Sounds like you see him as more than a pawn! 😉

How have each influenced us?
Well for starters, Gandhi threw the British Empire out of its prize colony. That altered world history, both for Asia and the British Empire. India is the world’s most populous democracy. And the British Empire is no more.

But, if you discount Asia and the British Empire, I can see how you might think Gandhi was nobody very influential.

But who influence Gandhi?

It seems to me that he studied the lives of men like Jesus who also fought without the luxury of the sword.

Shrug, it seems to work bout every time.

For me?
Today?

The survivors of Auschwitz, who 75 years ago, and today, demonstrate the strength and resilience of the human spirit...

Oh...and a young man with autism who today is tearfully willing to give up his precious toys in order to keep his family together.
