The Top Ten

  1. 14th Dalai Lama

    He is a paragon of compassion, can marry science and spirituality, and works tirelessly for world peace. He also admits his own failings. What's not to love?

    Because he is friends with Brian Blessing, making him officially the greatest man alive (after Brian Blessing).

    Greatest man ever. A signature of world peace. Number one.

    Hey, you there, Mr. "Trump's Evil." He's not evil. He has greatly contributed to helping America be great again, and he has not killed anyone. Obama and Clinton, especially Hillary, are evil, not Trump.
