The Necessity of Heroes
By Deana Chadwell
Throughout human history mankind has either produced or imagined heroic men (and sometimes women) who fought not for themselves, but for their people. St. George killed the dragon, Joan of Arc held back the English, Davy Crockett opened the frontier. Sometimes these heroes were real, sometimes fictitious. Sometimes they were local, sometimes they took on epic proportions. America now needs such a hero -- we demonstrated that in this last election.
America has learned a difficult lesson -- we’ve lived through four years of leaderless abandonment. Like a lost dog America has stumbled into fights, gone hungry from time to time, and felt ashamed of our national existence. We’ve watched the American Dream fade. How did we end up here? What’s more important -- how do we find our way home?
We do this with leadership. Just as a dog needs a master to train and guide and care for it, a nation needs a leader -- not just a person in a position of power (though that is important), but a special person, a one-in-a-million person with a rare combination of attributes. How do we know this person when he (or she) turns up?
