<What was courageous about it? He advanced a set of opinions, and that's courageous? LOL... our standards of courage are woefully low these days. >

Certainly advancing a set of opinions can take lot's of courage. Certain people "advancing opinion" around Adolf Hitler's time would certainly take courage no? IMO courage is not necessarily something to be read about in books of war, but something to be strived for daily if one truly looks within and is honest with ones self.

What has changed 'these days' is that folks are so tainted by what they perceived as 'important' by multi-media, etc. that they don't look on their own actions or even LIFE as important as what's on the news or some history book.

Every moment can be an opportunity for courageousness:

* Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear ~Mark Twain

* The Hero is no braver than the ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

* We must build dikes of courage to hold back the floods of fear. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

* To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage. ~Confucius
