Not any current ones, though I have respect for recent ones, such as Gandhi and the Pope John Paul II.

Let me state that respect does not imply agreement with all of their political and ethical views.

Clarence Darrow is the closest "role model" I have, but even with Clarence, I don't have any sort of idealized view.

However, I admire the work of many artists.

I still have tremendous admiration for my former priest, although I have obviously taken a different path. There are many religious leaders whose writings admire -- mostly Buddhists and Quakers -- but most of them are dead, and I don't consider any of them as authorities.

Bertrand Russell, Helen & Scott Nearing, Joseph Campbell and Molly Ivins have all had more effect on my way of thinking than any religious leader.

Yes. Bishop john S......He lives and works in the north of England. He seems to be the only member of the clergy that has the guts to stand up and say that the government is appeasing a small minority of the population at the expense and,not in the best interests of the indigenous population. This man is from Africa,and he's protesting the governments new laws on freedom of speech. Such a brave man



peace

The only role mdels I have found worthy are Krsna, Christ, (the real) Babaji and Buddha. Honorable mention also goes to Meher Baba, Paramahansa Yogananda, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhakitvedanta, Don Juan Matus, (the current) Dalai Lama and Carl Jung. The rest are too "low level" to be bothered with, imho.

Yes, I admire Bob Dobbs a lot, but that's only because he's so handsome.
