There is a severe Socrates-shaped hole in this poll. So I'll go with Plato, without whom we would only have a Socrates-shaped hole. And what the heck Rand and Dennett are doing here I have no idea. Russell and Flew to replace if you want some worthy atheists.

Socrates sucks as a philosopher.

He's also rather boring.

Is the ultimate philosopher as much as my stuffed pink bunny is the ultimate warmonger.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

As a Communist naturally I loathe her. But she has my respect also. She's the only one -I know of- that support capitalism and stands for what it is. I am %100 agree with her what capitalism is and I am against it for the very reasons she supports.
