I should have been more specific and excluded people from the past. In any case if you study the lives of some of the ones mentioned they were no saints.
So far I still do not see any outstanding examples, maybe what I was looking for was someone who has, or is, providing leadership and that I do not see.

Big Al, yeah. He's a genius. He gave us the internet and a new religion.
Created a war where nobody gets killed and still bilks the taxpayers
and plays on their fears and kindness to send him money. Think he really
gives a rats ass about spotted salamanders or artic foxes as he sits in
his Tennessee mansion counting his money?

"Created a war where nobody gets killed and still bilks the taxpayers"
So, I take it you don't mind paying taxes so long as someone is getting killed in the process?

Nah, he buys "green" energy, right off of the grid. Always wondered what type of device can split the "green" electrons apart from the "dirty" electrons and send them to the Goracles domicile.
Gore is a fraud. The only "green" he cares about is what he's figuring on making from this bullshit cap and trade.

No, I dont want to see anyone get hurt. Well maybe those nuts running Iran
could use a big tall tree and a short piece of rope.
That was interesting that Al Gore's mansion had a 2 thousand plus energy
bill while Bush's ranch had state of the art geothermal units and solar panels.
I think Gore has since upgraded.

I believe Al's bill has been around $30,000/year but all reports say that he has made the move to compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Thanks Al. It's good to know you care.
