I will be very interested to see who makes the nominations list. Up here, in Canada, we just finished out Greatest Canadian contest, and over half the people on the initial nominations list were not even Canadian.
The explorers Cabot, Frasier, Hudson, Champlain, and Cartier come to mind first, then of course, there was the nomination for Laura Secord, who was an American.
For Greatest American, though, I would nominate Jonas Salk, the man who discovered the Polio Vaccine. |

No idea, but my first guess would be Cesar Chavez. |

Oops, I guess he was the "Greatest American Hero."
Anybody else remember that show? Now that I've shown my age!!! |

Assuming I understand Mark, and I'm not sure I want to, he meant Doug & Bob McKenzie, who are Canadians. Watch Strange Brew and you'll understand. As well as probably hate it. |

I'm surprised Mark-N-Jen is not in mourning right now seeing that his #1 dear Avril has decided to marry someone else. |

Know what? Screw all those people who made a difference and changed the way America works. Let's pick a movie start or an athlete! |
