http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine
Thomas Paine wrote the legenday document: "The Rights of Man"
The Rights of Man was basically the foundation of modern day civil liberties, such as free speech and whatnot. Its ideals were the foundations and support for the American and French Revolutions, and also served as a core-work for their constitutions.
It basically laid out the earliest form of modern human rights
He was also an advocate of freedom and liberty, and favoured the French and American revolutions, and was an hounarary French citizen and representative in the National Constituency. He also met and befriended Napoleon (who, coincidently, slept with The Rights of Man underneath his pillow and told Paine himself that he wished that a gold statue of Paine be built in every city.), but condemned him when he too became a dictator.
In short, he was the founding father of freedom and liberty everywhere
My turn.
1. Che Guevara.
2. Diego Maradona (don't forget that after the 'Hand Of God' he scored 'The Goal Of The Century')
3. Rocío Guirao Díaz. Because... Well... Google her.

Very good choices! I would like to add Christiaan Huygens, mathematician, astronomer, physicist, horologist, and writer; our very own homo universalis.Alias42 said:
