Yes, for years I have admired his wife for being true and faithful. I admired him for keeping up the hope for so many people with his condition. I guess I admire them BOTH.

Hero? Obviously some believe that's debateable. Courageous? Most certainly! Rest in peace Superman.

Tyson has a point, but so does the Z-Man. In deferrence, I won't continue, but maybe at a later date bring this subject back up again. It is an interesting debate.

Christopher Reeve was a hero in that he didn't seem to succumb to self pity. A bigger man than I.

RIP

I have to agree w/ that. I couldn't *imagine* not being able to drive, shift, run, f_ _ _. It amazes me how people continue. I know it's small of me to think that but that's just me. Can't help it.

Maybe in that situation you seem to cherish the act of living all by iself, w/o the other activities and are able to continue, but I remember telling my friends whenever paralysis came up in a conversation (even before Reeve), in jest (but not really sure) that I wish them to wheel me into a swimming pool or something when I end up in such condition. What's that make me?
