I read these comments and think to myself how are these downvoters part of the human race? I could hold a more intelligent debate with Mr. Ed. The whole world wouldnt have been destroyed but the economy would have and the world would have been total chaos

The man IS a hero because he had the power to destroy the global economy and millions of lives he but he used his brain and saved the world. So you idiots who claim that it would have had nothing to do with you are wrong. Now go away and shut the f*ck up.
