Vicarious Heroes...
They live their lives through the actions of others. Whether it be their favorite politician or a simple GI in Iraq, they become part of their heroes experiences. They cheer when the "enemy" is blown to hell. They praise the actions of their leaders when he sticks it to the opposition. Is this part of human nature or is it simply a deformed gene found in Republicans?

1. Well, I also live vicariously through human inspiration.

I am definitely not RW or Republican.

When I see passion and courage and love being projected by others, it reminds me that I have that potential, too,...we all do.
