Whose photo do you think should appear when you Google "Nicest person alive today"?

Blimey! I believe that after thousands of failed attempts, I have succeeded in writing a question pithy enough to need no explanatory details. :-)

Me, obviously (I cut the pic because I didn’t have her permission to post lol). I even have a cool “thumbs up” emoticon. ^^b

My mom. Or Ellen Degeneres.

Dr. Paul Farmer. Worked with him years ago and again recently in Haiti through Partners In Health. Amazingly enough, he’s actually a really nice guy—one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and by far THE nicest doctor I’ve worked with.

Mister Rogers.

@marinelife If Augie didn’t get nominated, I would have done the honors myself. Thanks for making her first on the list.

@GladysMensch We’d probably have to use a female silhouette for that picture, because everyone fortunate enough to have a great mom (as I did) would think their mom deserved top billing.

@Blackberry With a smile like that, I think you’re a strong contender.

@ragingloli Um. I can understand that selection. But will the general electorate?

@rebbel May be. After all, the poster says he is.

@saint I floated that idea, but my wife vetoed me being included. So it must be you. :-)

@SavoirFaire Ha! Great link to Good Guy Greg, Thanks. It’s a small world. I just heard in today’s news how much Bill and Melinda Gates have done to save people all around the Earth who are dying of rare diseases, and how all the big pharmaceutical manufacturers have kicked in money and research to the effort. And it wasn’t so long ago I thought Microsoft was the Empire and Bill Gates was Emperor Palpatine. Getting to know him by his actions and not those of a corporation have made a world of difference.

@CardAngel Everybody’s mom (the good ones, at least) is in already. I like Ellen too. Thanks.

@Espiritus_Corvus Wow! What an impressive nominee. You are fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him and to work with him.

@Neizvestnaya He did leave us some nice thoughts and sayings.

@Symbeline Well, I did say alive today, but according to some… :-)
