1 There's a great uplifting story about the heart of a hero, Wesley Autrey- the man who saved another man from the subway.

He was on Letterman last night, and repeated a statement I had read that he didn't consider himself a hero- that the real heroes were in Iraq fighting and dieing for our freedom.  He said that they give us the freedom to choose what to do, and we should choose to do the right thing- like risk your life to save another.

He mentioned that there were nearly 100 people that just watched the man having a seizure on the subway platform before he fell to the tracks... just watched, and hurried on to their jobs.  I bet they are all cynical hearts and don't believe that self sacrifice is necessary.

Wesley Autrey's actions and words show that a hero's heart understands that self sacrifice is necessary to make the world a good place.  The uncaring inaction of the masses on the subway platform show that selfish cynics would leave a man to die on the tracks, and their brothers to die in Iraq.

Make no mistake, the brotherhood of man includes every man, woman and child in Iraq.

Wesley Autrey is a black man, the man he rescued is white.

Coincidence? I think not.

Repeating from above, for emphasis:

Ken Hoop realists I would guess. And yes, I'm trying to start some trouble with that remark. I'm pissed at anyone who doesn't see things my way today! DELETE ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT! Come on out 'Cut'nRun Kenny'! Call us all "chicken hawks" while you hide under your cute little isolationist blanky with your flashlight on! I know you will show up soon, and tell us why we should surrender and flee.

USA, all the way!

OK, I have no excuse for being an asshole.

I stand by my opinions, but I'm going to withdraw the portion of my previous remark saying I want to "start something". That IS out of line for a polite forum, and my mood is no excuse for abusing that. A friend who has read a few of my recent comments asked me to consider the hostile tone of my 'voice'. Not in so many words, but I see where I have let myself get a little carried away. Not saying I have changed my opinions.

Pre-emptively attacking Ken Hoop is bad behavior, and even though it is not the specific example of rude behavior, it is an example none the less. It's something I need to avoid, especially if I am going to continue looking for the legendary moderate Muslim. Might scare them away by accident. Wouldn't want that. I despair of finding one as it is ...

So sorry Ken, if you want to fight, call names whatever, e-mail me, and if not, then peace. But watch the 'chicken hawk' comments. It's rude too.

I may take a couple days and cool down. maybe hang out at the local college and ask the libs what 'moderate' means to them. If I don't like their answer I can chalk it up to the fact their libs

As always,
USA, all the way!
