I'd like to meet:

Previous Noble Experiments in World History:

Jackie Robinson Breaking the color barrier in Major League baseball in 1947. End of Women's Sufferage in 1919 The Prohibition laws from the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution since 1928 Barry Goldwater's speech about the Foundation of America from the founding fathers as a noble experiment during the 1964 election. Dr. Watson and Dr. Crick's foundation of the DNA code in 1954. Keynesian Economics dawning the New Era by John Meynard Keynes. The Monetary Policies of the Federal Reserve and Monetary Theorems of Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson . The Civil Rights Movement of the 60s. The Feminist Movement of the 70s. The creation of the Internet in 1969. The Formation of Six Sigma by Motorola, General Electric and Allied Signal. W. Edwards Deming new social movement. Neuroeconomics as the new key of measuring consumer behavior. On June 13, 2004, USA Today reported that the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force was less than satisfied with the performance of the former Iraqi generals. "This was a noble experiment that may not work out."
