Not meant for you personally,but,sometimes I think folks who have a real problem with hero worship may think that way because they aren't anybody's.
I don't have a problem with hero worship per se. I have a problem with translating the love of a great ballplayer's talents into a desire to understand how they think about events of the day. My hero in baseball was Bob Gibson. He was the toughest guy I ever watched throw 98mph fastballs for 9 innings in 95 degree heat. But for politics, my hero was and remains Ronald Reagan. Gibby is probably a leftwinger, and I'm glad he's private enough to keep his leanings confidential, so I just know of him by what he did on the field.
If anyone bases their viewpoint on what Madonna, on the one hand, or Tom Selleck, on the other hand, think, they are committing a mistake in the logic of their reasoning.
