Interesting list. Agree or disagree with them, they sure do seem to have influence.

Richard, have you tried hiring a publicist? I think that SK Vice Counsel gal from Florida is available...

A couple of gems from the article, and I've only skimmed to number 8:

Damned interesting. Thanks for posting that.

There are a bunch of people that I would like to sit down and talk with on that list. Pretty sure that I wouldn't agree with quite a few, but it would be very interesting nonetheless.
