I read what he said several times, and the "taking it to heart" in my title speaks loudly to my own self.

I grew up with Roger, Chicago guys. Roger Ebert is first and foremost a hero. A class act that made me proud to be a liberal. Proud of Chicago. Folks we have lost a great one. Please read about him, This country lost a hero, and icon. We are are a lesser country with Roger Eberts passing.

and he has shown us the way to be a Mensch. His humanity spoke volumes, and lives on in our hearts if we just listen and learn.
And to you: Welcome!

His courage with cancer, he did not hide, in spite of the way he looked, he did not hide, he did not shy from the camera, he when I saw Roger, I saw a great proud liberal American. His face was beautiful !
