definitely a good point!
but, does receiving compensation eliminate you from the running? i have no idea how much bob hope made for anything he did -- i do know that he gave a lot to charity, however... even if the guy was paid a ton o' money, i still dont think that removes the beneficial quality that he gave back.
granted, mother theresa is the ultimate example of sacrifice, a great leader, and a great woman... but i HAVE to think that bob hope indirectly, but CERTAINLY directly, affected more lives and on a grander scale.
by chosing her specific path, her religion, for good or for bad, mother theresa cut her effectiveness in half, as those who dont share her believes wouldnt cater to her at all. having said that, i now see similar arguments could be formed for non americans and bob hope, but still, i think the representation is much greater, as bob hope served as, perhaps, the ultimate entertainer, where as mother theresa, at best, was second to the pope, in terms of religious guidance.
now, dont gemme wrong... ill be the last person to belittle ANYthing mother theresa did, both out of the upmost respect, and plus, i dont wanna go t'hell!
but... im still inclined, at this moment, to stick to my answer.
