Do you now, or have you ever had a hero? (A real person.) I have not.

No, I have not.  There have been people whom I admired, but never thought of them as a hero.  That word gets flung around far too often these days.

I am a hero worshipper.  I worship the idea.  I love inspiration.  

Here is an amazing Heroine that just came to mind. 
This woman lived in a bathroom for over three months without coming out once.  With I think about 6 others.  The bathroom was the size of a closet.  They had to stand up and one person slept on the floor at a time.  Three months.  If they were discovered, they would have been slaughtered by machetes by Rwandan Hutu Maniacs.

She had a dictionary in there somehow and learned ENGLISH.  She had nothing better to do.  It saved her life.  But, that is another story.
SHE IS MY HERO

Anne Frank is my Hero.

Gandhi is my hero.  

And the Parkside Kids are my heroes.  Without heroes we have no inspiration to become better ourselves. 

Charlie Sheen

Captain Sully. Secretariat. Greg Norman. 

I know Harriet Tubman comes to my mind first.

Yes, I find her the actions she did in her life were heroic. 

For my personhood, the word "hero" applies to her. But I think the word itself is up to interpretation for everyone; perhaps heros/heroines are subjective.

Hey, remember that other answer I gave to one of your questions, about what I sometimes say to myself when I post answers? You had a great response to me, too.

Yup -- "What are you trying to say, bud?" Ha.

Thomas Jefferson. 

We don't need another hero.

Ya a friend who saved me from a fate worse then death. One day I accidentally cut into a large Yellow jacket ground nest with my brush saw. I got swarmed and after a minute or so I started freaking out and started running blindly. I was running towards Rose Wall Cliff - they call it  Rose Wall Cliff  because it is a 80 foot cliff that is coved by wild rose bushes from top to bottom so if I ran off the cliff I would of fell through 80 feet of wild rose bushes. Plus when yellow jackets sting you they leave a chemical that the other yellow jackets home in on - so they would of followed me off the  cliff and kept stinging me all the way down plus at the bottom of the cliff there is lots of old rusty metal so if I would of survived the fall I would of had to get a tetnis shot and I hate needles. Luckily a co worker grabbed a first aid blanket ran after me and tackled me 5 feet before the cliff edge then covered us up with the blanked. He got stung many times saving me so he became my hero. Cheers!
