We Can Make the World a Whole Lot Brighter

With apologies to The Brady Bunch, the title of this afternoon's post refers to my dear friend Cardinal Fang, who, perhaps buoyed by a little extra Turkey (of the Wild variety), recently epiphanied all over himself.

Seems that dear Fang has come to the realization that he is "destined to change the world for good." That got me to wondering: How many famous people, either in interviews, essays, books, or what have you, said that they, too, felt that they were destined to make the world a better place? With thanks to our good friends at Google, herewith a short list:

Billy Graham
Garner Ted Armstrong
John Lennon
L. Ron Hubbard
Madonna
Strom Thurmond
George W. Bush
Chelsea Clinton
Adolf Hitler
Lee Harvey Oswald
Theodore Kaczynski
James Earl Ray
Josef Stalin
Pol Pot
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme
Charles Manson
David Berkowitz
Mary Kate & Ashley Olson

'Nuff said.
