Heroes of Our Time![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good Firefighters always try to save children from burning Summary: True heroes today attract little or no mainstream media attention. The seven criminals who were found guilty "on all counts" in a Georgia court deserve the greatest respect, support and honour we can give them for their nonviolent action against the very existene of massively destructive Trident missiles in Kings Bay in Georgia USA The death of Gay Byrne has galvanised Ireland in a way few other events have done. I liked Gay. He was a great and charming entertainer who brought a certain kind of happiness to his millions of fans on Irish TV and Radio over a period of some 60 years. Irish newspapers have given front page and saturation coverage to his passing since Tuesday last. Special TV programmes have commemorated him. His presence will be missed. Irish people will fill many tomes of Remembrance books with their signatures and comments on his life's work over the coming weeks. Although much loved, he was not and never claimed to be a hero. |
