This tribute to Paul Newman is one of many thousands you can find at the MisterShortcut Approach.
Hard to see why Mr. Newman has not been recognized as one of the five or ten great humans of all time.
Let's neither understate nor understate, and make sure the we clearly understand which Paul Newman we're referring to.

Isn't that sad that we even need to separate such a giant human from the puny folks he's surrounded by, on both coasts?

No, not fat Newman from the Seinfeld show. We're talking about Mr. Paul Newman, actor, director, race car driver, producer, and, did we mention two of his larger accomplishments, being happily married for decades and decades? Let's move to the big boy: one of the most effective, productive humanitarians of all time. Do you realize and recognize how many people he's fed with Newman's Own?

Millions and millions of human beings, saved from so much suffering as the result of the actions and shortcuts taken by Paul Newman.
If in fact Mr. Paul Newman is NOT a living saint, the MisterShortcut Approach would love to see who does merit such praise.
Building his company from nothing, and getting other decent and like-minded people to help, he did it right. His company produces foods that are, rare enough, both nutritious AND delicious, and that's a tough combination to beat. Paul Newman chose to give his profits to invest in feeding and helping humans who are incapable of helping themselves. This is no welfare-fattening fella, Paul Newman is the real deal.

All in favor of seconding The MisterShortcut Approach 's nomination of Mr. Paul Newman one of the few humans who ever deserve canonization during their lifetimes? What act of a Pope or national leader comes close to a man who invests a hundred bags of a million dollars into buying food for starving people, and more?

What deeds of rock stars and concerts come close in actual food going into actual empty stomachs of children who are delightful except for having empty stomachs, what day-to-day excellence in philanthropy have any of your celebrities demonstrated? They're too busy with fifty thousand dollar per month apartments and weekends in the Hamptons, as if they'll go to sleep as sweetly as Paul Newman does, as other people do who invest minutes of their life every day seeking to do something to offset the literally criminal imbalance in the world.

Paul Newman's done it right, and should be declared Man of the Century and given every award the world offers true givers, from Nobel to Medal of Freedom, this is a man helping to solve some of the worst of the world's problems by fixing some of its most basic ones.
