Heck, for people in my generation he is still the world's greatest soccer player. I'm not impressed by "Ronaldo" and his ilk.

I remember Pele from the TV commercials he made, and only then found out he was a soccer player. Seemed like a nice guy from what little I saw of him. RIP.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
