For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

I'm Time Magazine's "Person of the Year", and so are you! Time Magazine decided to take the easy way out this year and named anyone that uses or creates content on the web as the "Person of the Year". From the Associated Press via Boston.com:

NEW YORK --Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of the Year."

The annual honor for 2006 went to each and every one of us, as Time cited the shift from institutions to individuals -- citizens of the new digital democracy, as the magazine put it. The winners this year were anyone using or creating content on the World Wide Web.

"If you choose an individual, you have to justify how that person affected millions of people," said Richard Stengel, who took over as Time's managing editor earlier this year. "But if you choose millions of people, you don't have to justify it to anyone."

You certainly don't have to make the hard decisions if you give it to just about everyone. This doesn't really feel like much of an honor to me, not that I've found that previous recipients of the award were truly worthy either.

At least they did make one good decision here. They decided NOT to name Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At least they have a little sense left.
