What I don't agree with is the Hero part.
Brown is not the hero .. The people of .. Masachutses, Massachewsits .. uh, Massachusetts are the real Heros!
The people of Mass. are.
Yes, in a way they are. But that is now really how we define heroes.
When a fireman saves a child , we give him an award, not the taxpayers who fund the fire department.
Perhaps one could say that BROWN was the focus that enabled the voters to be heroes for their country.
