That is because, Mr. Day, that real heroes do not bring much - if any - attention to themselves. Real heroes do their bit with little fanfare.

There is a story I read a while back on the net. About a traffic accident where a young lady suffered a major neck injury. There was medical person there before the paramedics arrived and he knew that the ladies neck had to be immobilized in a particular way or she would be paralyzed or worse.

A big rig operator saw the situation and pulled over. The fellow got out and spoke with the medical person who was attempting to help. He then got into the car and got behind the lady and to the amazement of the medical person held the ladies neck in exactly the right way so that it could be immobilized.

When the paramedics arrived the big rig driver, who obviously knew quite a bit about emergency medical procedures, simply got back into his rig and drove off. Not even leaving his name with anyone.

So you see, real heroes you don't hear about much.

Those who you call evil are also very in need of attention. They seem to go out of their way to let people know just how bad they are. Their egos demand it.

There are so many heroes out

There are so many heroes out there; doing so much good.

I seem to focus on the evil ones; much to much.

The heroes vary from the religious to the atheist.

But the love is still there!

And no, we must not feel guilty for celebration.

After all, celebration and feasting is an homage to humanity, to being human.

Holy Wah! (a Yooper thing)

Holy Wah! (a Yooper thing) Well, since I was baptized and confirmed Lutheran and married by a Lutheran minister and since I listen to Garrison Keillor all the time up there in Minnesota, I can see how it would make sense.

I could change that to lapsed Lutheran liberal.

Naaahhh.

I was told by my therapist that it was a Lutheran thing. But unlike the Catholics, Lutherans do it the vernacular rather than in Latin.
