What about the garbageman that picks up our garbage everyday permitting our
neighborhoods from succumbing to disease and hundreds of people dying,
putting his life on the line because at any time he could get pricked by a
needle or bit by a diseased rat? Is he too, then, not a hero? And if he is,
then isn't anyone in any job or industry a hero? If this is so, we need to
come up with a different idea of what a hero is, because it is way, way
overused.
