Heroes

Why are there no heroes today?

Because ...

Sons of Saxons can only admit that Robin Hood stood up for the Saxons when they are no longer in thrall to the Normans, and any current society, Saxon or other, is always in thrall to its Normans. We can agree unanimously that Hitler was bad only when we’re no longer threatened by Hitler’s brown shirts. So long as there’s power, some Hitler will always have it, whether his name is Caesar, Napoleon, or Bush. Therefore, we have to see the courage and independence of Robin Hood, of Jesus, of Thoreau, while we cower, content with the kleptocracy’s fiat heroes: firemen, cops ... all working for the state.
