I'd like to meet:
I enjoy meeting and interacting with different people, especially those with different political and religious ideology than me; this is good and makes for interesting relationships and eventually creates a strong bond of friendship. I would like to meet people who are articulate, candid, have a sense of humor, sense-of-self, and possess moral wisdom.
Specific people I would like to meet are: Samuel Alito; F. Lee Bailey; Joseph Biden; Wolf Blitzer; Ben Bradlee; George H.W. Bush; George W. Bush; Gordon Brown; L. Paul Bremmer; Tom Brokaw; Robert C. Byrd; Ben Nighthorse Campbell -- the first American Indian U.S. Senator; Newt Gingrich; Don Graham; Theodore Kaczynski' Henry Kissinger; Rochus Misch; Gavin Newsom; Bill O'Reilly; Colin Powell; Vladimir Putin; Condoleezza Rice; John Roberts; Karl Rove; Antonin Scalia; Gerhard Schröder; Albert Speer (the younger); Brian Williams.
Some interesting people I have met thus far: Donnald K. Anderson, Clerk of the House of Representatives from 1987–1995. I met him during my 1992 visit to Washington, D.C. to watch the first inauguration of President Clinton. Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense from 1975-1977 under President Ford, and from 2001-2006 under President Bush. I met him during his 2003 visit to Camp Pendleton, California. Dianne Feinstein, the current senior U.S. Senator from California. I met her during my 1992 visit to Washington, D.C. inside the Capitol building rotunda. Barbara Boxer, the current junior U.S. Senator from California. I met her during my 1992 visit to Washington, D.C. during a student gathering. Mark O.

Heroes:
Jesus Christ - The only begotten son of God; conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. Crucified on the cross, died and was burried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose from the dead; ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
