I may have been wrong in naming this thread what I did... We all have our views. I shouldn't have put political figures in the thread. I'm white just so everyone knows. But I think these me, good or bad, were heros. I did not like alot of what Malcolm X said... Well, Pretty much none of it. But, he stood for a cause that was great... and that was my point... King stood for Freedom, Ali... Think what you will... I told you, I'm a vet and I don't hate on him not going... He chose to pay the piper here(course that was a choice that insured he would live... I don't(truly) think it was about that) and not there...

I am a White male from Boston saying this... These men were all heros if looked at objectivly

or just choose to object.

or choose to post your own hero in history
(Hitler and Pol pot discluded)
