Sooey Defines Brave
The other day I was watching the news and I saw some Greenpeace activists boarding a Japanese whaling ship and it struck me how deliberately and narrowly our government and media define heroism and bravery. Because I don't care who you are or where you live - being an actual hands on activist of any kind these days is brave.
Going up against the Establishment, any Establishment, takes real guts.
So come on, young people. Forget the army and all the officially sanctioned routes and go for the real deal in brave heroics and become a political activist. You won't get any kudos from government or media, but you'll be the real deal in terms of brave and unsung heroes.
