there is quite a few name's there i didn't know where bp !
it gives me hope...to see what some of these people have achieved.
maybe I'll find my neish yet !
so hence, i'm ok with Sylvia Plath & Winston Churchill, but i have a problem with saying Alexander Hamilton or Beethoven or even Abe Lincoln were BP. there are plenty of other possible explanations of what we may want to see as presentaments of BP. i've also seen some gay scholars trying to claim Hamilton, Washington, & Lincoln as gay - i really see no reason for this. i mean, it is known that Lincoln had other health issues, and it may be fair to say he struggled with depression, and certainly he was moody, but hell - there was a fucking war on in his own country! & moodiness does not mean BP - BP is a chemical disorder, & as they are dead we have no way of really proving that.
besides which, Beethoven wasn't BP - he was just a tempermental asshole.
sorry - my 2 cents. i mean, i've herad some folks try to claims both Jesus & Judas as BP - or gay - or both!
That freaks me out.
