What some people consider as a hero, others think something else!

[Guest guest]

I've read your list of those YOU consider heros, and I got to tell you, I HATE

it!

 

In fact, most of those that Sue put forward as heros, in my

definition of what a hero is made out of, they ain't got.

 

What is important to ME are a self-idenity, values and criteria that

none of them have, or if they do have some of them, they also have

many that irritate and frustrate me.

 

But, since many on this list also are earth elements, I'm sure they

LOVE them.

 

So, group, what is VERY IMPORTANT about Sue's neat and informative

post, and the other posts about modeling behavior?

KINDS of heroes. They are everywhere, everyday. Sometimes they are
