On Dec. 14, Time magazine will announce its Person of the Year—which isn’t guaranteed to be an actual man or woman. But in the run-up, the magazine has invited votes on 40 candidates, including Barack Obama, Gabby Douglas and Kim Jong Un. Other options include The Mars Rover and the Higgs Boson Particle. But who cares about the same-old same-old? Who is Encinitas’ Person of the Year—the man or woman who, in Timespeak, “most influenced the news this year for better or worse”? We won’t preselect your picks. But the ones most often mentioned in the comments (and tell us why) will have a runoff in a month.
Why Let Time Have All the Fun? Who is Encinitas’ Person of the Year?
This poll is in two parts: Nominate your Person of the Year and we’ll have a runoff next month.

'Batman',
Yes, I generally agree to the actual point you seem to be making. The lameness of others…Read More attempts, at disambiguation or trying to inflame general consensus are well... lame! We are hindered by our displayed masculinity and only have a peek into the wonderment of women - they choose to share!
I certainly do not agree with the confusion of 'Jac' or the passive/aggressive tendencies of say 'BA2's view of your comments... so we are up our backwards respective trees in our woods in even trying to communicate the special nature and deference given to women everyday in life and the laws/tenets of our more forward country. The UN? is no card to draw comparisons from. The Bircher's had one thing right... get US out of the UN! Their somewhat covert destructive efforts and self-prepossessing influence are bane upon our shores IMHO and wherever they go, it seems instability follows IMHO. No explanation will be provided for 'Jac'.
'Ya know... in this instance, I would love to hear what say 'Libi' might share, but it appears to me... she is fittin' a fight for all of us in the region against a phalanx of bullies - men and women. I may not like everything she says, but right now she has my ear now and added respect, possibly in need some of support for straightening things out in IB/SD's rising Mortal Storm there? I invite you to look into that, if you have not already.
Alas... we are only backwoods men.

Hey ladies, thank your lucky stars that you are not married to Batman. Can you imagine?

Holy cow! Half the Red Army is converging on this topic! Flanders, Robles and now Selkovitch! I…Read More wonder where Paulson is?
As a matter of fact Selkovitch, before the subversive (understatement) Marxists put their evil spell on America women were quite satisfied with their "lot" in life. And children were better behaved (not nearly the street gang problem we have now) and one income would support a family (what good is it for women to be working now anyway?).
Where in the dictionary is subordinate synonymous with slave Selkovitch?
Any successful system has to have a hierarchy or chain of command. Whether it's a business, community organization, government agency or family. You can't have two chiefs in a tribe, and you can't have two husbands in a household. It just doesn't work out. And that's where you sick puppies are laughing up your sleeves at everyone who takes your vomit seriously.
Yes, women do need to take a subordinate role to men. It's the way they are designed. The alternative is for them is to take a subordinate role to government, which is the goal of the marxists. And we are seeing the results of that.

Thanks, Kyle for posting this. I'm not sure how things were in the past, but as a Patch editor, I've…Read More seen that blogging and engaging readers directly is a great way to market a book.
Steve Repak, a financial planner with a military-themed personal finance book, blogs regularly on Patch and has recently been featured in National Media.
