I don't know if our votes count at all, but TIME has a request for votes on 2012's person of the year. Surprisingly, very few were a majority of "Definitely". I also noted a little something of myself while voting: I didn't vote on popularity or positive message (well, not always), but I did vote for global personas who enacted change whether positive or negative. Some people went business as usual and, as far as I was concerned, don't deserve to be Time's person of the year, however some stepped out of what the rest of us would consider a comfort zone and changed or are changing the world around them. 

How would you vote?
