Today in class Debbie said "we're attracted to the historical figures we embody" and I liked it so much I wrote it down in my notes. Seems like an interesting idea. But then we were talking about Humboldt so I kind of forgot about it until the end of class when I looked over my notes again. And I thought of the historical figures I particularly enjoy:
1. Socrates
2. Henry VIII
3. Anne Boleyn, while we're on the subject of Hal
4. Nietzsche
5. Shakespeare
6. Walt Disney
Crap.
Guess I'm in the market for a generally loved, rational, non-manipulative and totally sane historical figure to enjoy. Preferably one who lived to a ripe old age without any encounters with hemlock, gout, syphyllis, an executioner's sword, or lung cancer.
Bonus: Apparently, Walt Disney was a spy for the FBI. An Epcot-creating spy, no less. That's sweet. I don't care if some people think he was a fascist; he can stay on the list.
