There Are NO REAL heroes!

I have sat back and watched a situation that defies description, and then again maybe it does NOT!
For over a decade or more COMIC BOOK Hero movies have grossed millions upon millions of hard earned American dollars at the box office.

Reason: At first I seriously thought it was because the public at large was in dire and desperate need of inane drivel thinly disguised as 'entertainment'.

But: I realized that I was indeed extremely wrong, which you will find that normally I am NEVER wrong!

We have the need for heroes, somebody that we can look up to, fashion some small part of your pointless lives after, maybe even adopt some small part of your hero's attitudes toward something.

But now, the American public at large seems to feel the need to idolize a comic book hero. Be it Batman, The Silver Surfer, The Wolverine etc etc etc etc etc.

It's really sad that we no longer look to the REAL people in this very real life of ours to fashion our attitudes, our very lives after. Has the American public sank so low, are they so blind, are they so friggin' STUPID that they cannot see the REAL heroes in our society?

Sadly the answer is a no doubt about it, hands down around the table, most definitely resounding YES!

We have troops in Iraq that are dying every day, they are your heroes, we have police on patrol onour streets and highways, they are your heroes, we have teachers in the classroom, underpaid and definitely under appreciated, they are your heroes, we have Trauma Nurses and Surgeons that save lives and treat the wounded and damaged, they are your heroes, we have EMT's out on the highways and byways respondiong to car wrecks, etc etc etc they are your heroes, and this list could and should go on and on and on and on and...and...and...

Forget wasting your money on the movies, wake up, look around you, we DO have heroes around us every minute of every day of every month of every year.
