I like what little I know about Socrates. Poor bugger was accused of corrupting the youth saying things like democracy wasn't as good of an idea as it sounded.

I like what little I know about Socrates. Poor bugger was accused of corrupting the youth saying things like democracy wasn't as good of an idea as it sounded. Then he was condemned to death by a simple majority. At least he stayed fast to what he believed to the end.
Diogenes was a cool guy too. He used his dad's mint to debase his own coins for profits, got condemned to slavery, escaped to Athens and lived in a jar, and slighted Alexander. He made a little money as a tutor. Those Greeks were awesome.
