Who are some people that you greatly admire and respect?

Answer 1

my husband and my family

Answer 2

Growing up, I never idolized anyone. Even people, bands, etc. I liked a lot I didn't fawn over. It wasn't until more recently that I started finding names for my beliefs.

I should mention that I've always been a rabble-rouser, a hippie at heart. I've won awards for it too.

Today, people I admire include Epicurius, Jesus, Buddha, Jefferson, and a host of other people who thought "outside the box." I prefer to follow radical thinkers that could care less what society has to say about them in lieu of what they have to teach society.

There's even that sports star I admire for taking police training. But other than that, sports "stars" are not on my radar of whom I admire and respect.

These days, I have to admire the likes of Oprah and some others for their efforts in making society a better place in which to live. I even have to extend kudos to Dr. Phil even though I can't stand him. They're trying, and that's what's important.

Answer 4

Justice Hugo L. Black.

The rare example of a "liberal" SC Justice who interpretted the Constitution with the right amount of "judicial restraint."

"Justice Black came to have significantly more respect for the limits of the Constitution than Justice Douglas and the other leading members of the Warren majorities ever showed." -- Robert Bork, "The Tempting of America," p. 72.

"No justice of the Court conscientiously and persistently endeavored, as much as Justice Black did, to establish consistent standards of objectivity for adjudicating constitutional questions." -- James J. Magee, "Mr. Justice Black: Absolutism on the Court," p. 194.

Answer 5

That is a very good question. Folks who have held themselves to higher ideals, I guess, to such a degree they ended their lives by talking themselves to death. Folks like Socrates and Jesus.
Then there are other heretics as well.
