So quick we are to label someone a hero or role model.
We're even quicker to criticize and "throw stones" at that person when they don't live up to our fantasy view of who they are.
I agree with Mattstang, Nicksully, and Projekt. This doesn't warrant the level of interest it has generated. This is one of the consequences of living in an affluent society. Instead of worrying about where our next meal is coming from, or where we're going to find clean water to drink we have the luxury of focusing our attention on the private lives of others.
