I sure think the last line sums it up. Need to see a few 'hero' types in the government. Claiming hero because one earned a medal somewhere back in time doesn't cut it. It's like claiming astronaut after you go after someone to maim or kill her. The hero, in my eyes at least, is the one who remains dedicated to ideals and purposes to carry through no matter what the cost to he or she as an individual. We've got medals galore tucked around here because of military etc heritage. I've even sold medals. Medals represent a brief brave time in history --- those people who were given the medals are now dead. What was it that counted. Their medal... or that life lived throughout with integrity and courage, love of country and family.. to the best they could do or be. Some did. Some didn't. I chose character over medal any day. Find a few brave men and women to become real heroes in the government. We could actually manufacture a new game and become famous if we marketed it correctly. We could call it... Find the Real Heroes in Congress... We wouldn't tell them that there were not many winners to be found. Maybe we should title it ... Find the Weasels in Congress. Every player would be a guaranteed winner :) Fran being sarcastic... sigh... back to my happy self :)
