Re: Are Astronauts Heroes?
[ QUOTE ]
politicians - Nope, barring a very very few examples. I think in this day of age, politics prevents heroes from getting anywhere in politics.
artists - Nope, no altruism or desire to help others here. It's about self expression by and large.

Can you think of any politicians you would have considered heroes? Kennedy maybe? I know someone who thinks Reagan was a hero. He talks about him in glowing terms. I should probably read up on the guy because I don't know one thing that he did while he was in office [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].
edited to say: I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people view Obama as a "hero". When my sister first told me about this senator from her state, she spoke of him as if he were some type of hero who would save our country.
Didn't a lot of people look up to Lennon as a hero? Also, I think that film would be a great way to aid or influence a group of people. I don't see why filmmakers couldn't be heroes.
