    Ali and Monroe definitely don't belong, and Ruth probably not either

    How the hell did Ali make the list?

    obviously, people could make arguements for various people, but I have a hard time thinking Ali holds third shirt buckets

    I hated Ali but he is a great American. He didn't fight? So what? Neither did most presidents

    What did he do though? I can think of a handful of other advocates that either did a better job of advocating for African Americans or some other culture.

    I meant to leave 1 and had no idea you were referring to Marilyn. Seemed to me it would have been james monroe. Marilyn lol, just further adds to the statement. Quit being so sensitive I take your posts with a grain of salt so should you mine.

    A list of great Americans would include Mexican, Canadian and US hero's, as well as conquerors of the 15th century.

    A list of great US persons cannot be completed in just 10- hell there's 10 on our currency alone, but some interesting figures that are missing should include:

    Oppenheimer
    Ford
    Edison
    Einstein
    Upton Sinclair/ Fitzgerald/ Poe
    Patton
    Bogart/ Sinatra
    Clark Gable
    Carnegie/ Vanderbuilt/ Rockefeller
    Bill Gates
    William McKnight
    Lewis n Clark
    Hugh Heffner
    Bob Dylan
    Al Capone/ Arnold Rothstein
    Steve Wynn
    Larry Flint
    Ty Cobb, Ruth, Gerigh, Jim Thorpe, Jim Brown, MJ, MJ lakers, coach k, etc

    The list of revolutionaries and leaders/ scientists in any field is endless because of the opportunity in USA.

    Greatest country in world history- shame some ideologies want to strip away at those founding documents...
