Janice,

Hero:

A man of distinguished valor, intrepidity, or fortitude, a central or prominent personage in any remarkable action or course of events; a man admired and venerated for his noble deeds or qualities.

Webster New English

Perfect? Just ain't there.....I will agree with you on the concept of "hero worship"....that's not to say we shouldn't hold in esteem those who fit the above definition. Please understand, I consider RR a hero per the above definition, I do not believe he is perfect.

>> Who ever did? Was there a generation that considered LBJ or Nixon "their hero"? Not that I know of.

YOU'RE the one who insists upon, and rather sadly insists also upon finding, "perfection".


Who ever did? Yet you claim to be from Massachusetts. Try half that state for its favorite son. Didn't they subsequently prove they would vote for anything labelled "Kennedy"? The Dems took it to the point of apotheosis.

Who ever did? Did you read the article? Hint: He's the topic of conversation. While it's not said "in exact words" (as some demand) in this article, it's strongly implied and has been noted countless times in the press.

Don't you find it funny that Gallup hasn't asked the (hero) question since Bush? I suspect they have but wouldn't publish the results. Too embarrassing for a certain vindictive couple who know how to abuse power and don't ever shy from doing so.
