Heroes and Victims

In today's society we hear about victims every day. The media puts this in our face constantly. We are victims. There is nothing we can do. We must rely on the government and their multitude of agencies, the police, anybody but ourselves.

Out of this last tragedy of some maniac gunning down a politician, then picking off the crowd, who did we hear of? An intern who held a bloody rag to the congresswoman's head.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad he was there. But his story is basically that he saw his boss was bleeding and held a rag to her head. So he's the big news?

What about Judge John Roll? Here is his story.

Why aren't we hearing about this hero? Where is mainstream media and why aren't they reporting about what this man did? I believe it's because we are to remain victims. If given an example of this man's heroics and many other untold stories like it, we may stand up as one and put an end to this culture of victimization.
We may start acting like men.
And they wouldn't like that. Not at all.
