    Marc Bolan

    Marc Bolan??I think that if Elvis were alive today, his stature would have become somewhat like Paul McCartney's has become.  In other words, Graceland wouldn't be worth what it is today.  You wouldn't have Japanese PMs wanting to visit Graceland on their trips to America.

    I see Mr. Hobilar has a streak of sarcasm.

    I think your right with your assesment. What do you think it would have meant for history if Alexander the great had not died so young?

    Come on now Donnie, no cheating. We only want to know your opinion on those who died young and did not realize their full potential or crash. Those among the living dont count.

    Margaret, Maid of Norway. Queen of Scotland for just sixteen days. Margaret (died 1290) was en-route to Scotland to take her crown when she died.If she had lived then there would have been no Scottish War of Independence and the Kingdoms of England and Scotland would have been united four centuries before it actually happened.

    How about Archimedes?  He supplied any number of technological marvels for the Roman military, only to be killed by an over-zealous Roman soldier one day.  He was one of the greatest engineers of the ancient world.

    Archimedes was employed by the kingdom of Syracuse before the Romans sacked Sicily.  His devices held the Romans at bay for quite some time though.
