60 People who have made a difference..

Post by Arginald Valleywater »

My colleague's sister is a deputy head at a Catholic Secondary School. She has asked the sixth form to come up with a list of 60 people who have made a genuine difference or had a massive influence on life. They can go back as far as they want, have been advised to not go too heavy on the celeb and war hero stuff....

Well actually it is 59 as her head told her she must include Mother Therese....

Over to you......

Obviously Alexander Fleming.

Penicillin is estimated to have saved more lives in it's first 50 years than there were people born since the birth of civilisation.

And tell them to shove Mother Teresa up their arse. She took millions of shady gangsters and left thousands to die in suffering, believing that it was good for the soul. She did nothing for the world apart from make money for the church at the expense of India's poor and sick.
