The World is Terribly Out of Balance, and has been for a while, Actually

When TIME magazine was a legitimate magazine, in the last century, it had credibility. Its Person of the Year magazine cover articles were timely. *[Hehe -- chuckles]*

With ascent of digital data streams, TIME has run amok in many ways. It no longer depends on snail mail, and readers' responses for determining its main concentration for the past years. It uses online surveys, even though they are subjective, and it uses feelers, like web crawlers, to suss out a good candidate for Person of the Year.

If you have a faceBook account [a free entity open to everyone in the world] you can sign in to TIME and vote. You can also double check TIME's content, but that is another story.

When Ronald Reagan said, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall," he was voted in as the potus P of the Y, eh? (TIME. Jan 5, 1981. HERE . Man of the Year 1981), and, (TIME. Dec 19, 2004. HERE. Person of the Year) Those were easy pickings. You get the idea, though. It is a yearly designation that balances the present conditions with a constituency of readers... right?

So, if you want that distinction, you can try a cryptic quote, like Reagan quoth, or look around for something and someone to believe in. MooPig voted YES to 99%-er.

The 99% - Who Should Be TIME's Person of the Year 2011? - TIME: "From tsunamis to budget battles to revolutions, 2011 has been a tumultuous, news-packed year. Who influenced the news most, for better or for ill? Tradition dictates that TIME's editors choose the Person of the Year, but we want to know: if you were in charge, who would it be? And remember, a person's inclusion as a 'candidate' in the poll doesn't mean he, she or they are serious candidates to be named Person of the Year by the magazine."
