"Being strong and dumb can get me killed"
And yet you're the typist behind the feelevil character?
Everyone has emotions Proto, men are in touch with them as much as women are, but in past men refused to let them rule their lives. Thats the difference. If you had a disease which rendered your legs worthless, and painful to use, would you hide your discomfort in order to appear unbroken -to put forth a face of strength that others could place faith in, rather than cater to your weakness? Thats the choice Roosevelt had, and he made the only acceptable choice there was. A broken man could not lead a broken country and have the esteem of her citizens.
We lost three thousand people in the September Eleven strike. They were climbing over ome another in stairwells to save their own lives. No order, only chaos. On the Titanic, fifteen hundred were lost, and while hundred might have fallen over the bow railing, just as many returned to their rooms or the dancehall and waited for death with equanimty (I hope I'm spelling that right, I hate posting first thing when I wake up).
There is something noble about that Proto, and I wish it were existant today.
