3. yes. Hero in my book is somebody who helps to preserve..

life for generations to come. Not somebody who wipes generations off the planet with violence and hatred.

4. Me too

I think a hero is someone who goes out of their way to sacrifice their own physical safety for someone else's benefit. I don't think donating a lot of money to a charity makes you a hero. I don't think that hitting a walk off grand slam in game 7 of the world series makes you a hero either. For that matter, I don't think that fire fighters doing their jobs or cops doing their jobs or members of the armed forces doing their jobs is what heroism is all about. I think that heroism really has to be utterly a matter of dangerous choice.

7. Well, we own the domain name hero.com, and I can f&*ing guarentee you

the MSM will NEVER get their grubby little paws on it.

Maybe we'll re-fit the hero.com site for politics if Feingold gets the nomination.
