Heh...
Well, if I have to pick a second, I have to say I admire my dad's entire family - ancestors and all! He had twelve uncles growing up; born into a poorer side, not poverty-stricken but cash was slim. And yet, the stories I hear, that family got along fine finanaces wise. I hear my uncle (second) Bill was quite the character, lol! Besides the large family, my dad's side has a lot of history behind it and so I admire all the trifles, yet everyone pulled through as a unit.
Third - Some may argue and debate with their nose bleeds, and that is fine; I'm used to it, but I have always looked up to Samuel Adams. Upon reflecting, without dishing out a history lesson, he was largely responsible for starting the American Revolution. Adams' actions were extreme and in the 1700's, he was looked upon by the delegates as a firebrand - a incompantant hothead, which is one major reason he never had the oppertunity in serving as a Vice or a President.
Yet, through all Adams' mistakes, he did in his good concious mind what he believed strongly in, and no person should shun such devotion, even if some of his acts were truly vile. So, to sum up, I admire a person who has the odds stacked against them, yet that person doesn't give two craps and will continue no matter the concinquences, even if they face death or imprisonment because of what they are presuing is something that person believes strongly in - for the good of the people.
