Cycleholic is so right. You can't be a hero if other people in the world have done something more impressive or more heartbreaking than you have.

Maybe you can help me out, dude. I've been trying to figure out whether Alvin York or Audie Murphy was a hero. I know one of them was a real hero and the other one sucked, but I can't quite decide which was which. But we know they couldn't both be heros 'cause you can't be a real hero if somebody else did something bigger than you did. I guess I'd have to say York was a hero, because after all, he took some prisoners.
I suppose that makes Audie Murphy and Lance Armstrong the sissies. Somebody should be writing this down.
