I am of the opinion that the term is used far too loosely these days.

Rudolph Giuliani... is not a hero. The 8 year old girl who carried water to the tired fireman... not a hero. The third floor janitor who lept to safety. Not. A. Hero. Everyone associated with that event is a fucking hero. Fuck, they paint the residents of New York as heroes.

2 years ago the entire nation was of the opinion that New York was a cesspool full of rude assholes. Now it is a city of Heroes.

I beg to differ.
Here's where I see you questioning the definition of a hero...

"If I die while doing my job, I am a hero as well.

Everyone is a hero now."

No not everyone that does their job is a hero...

Giuliani is NOT a hero, the 8 year old is not a hero, and the janitor is not a hero.

New York is still a cesspool and full of rude assholes!

No it's not a city of heroes... but give the heroes their due!
