Are we an educated people, or an easily
directed and emotionally-malleable one?
We readily identify with the emergency-related
“heroes,” the police and first responders whenever some “incident” occurs, and
that’s fine. But there are heroes of
other sorts.
How many people know
who Yuliya Tymoshenko is? Her bravery in
fighting a thoroughly corrupt and often evil system that wants to see her dead
goes unnoticed outside of Europe and a few State Department people.
And where are all the
Ayn Rand lovers when the relatively unknown in America Mikhail Khodorkovsky is
their John Galt?
