Baldwin expects perfection, Bush was praising MLK's work for civil rights not his personal life. But with Baldwin's high threshold the only hero anyone would have would be God! I'm sure several of those rushing into the WTC to save people were not perfect, but would that make them any less a hero?

You're absolutely right. Our greatest heroes are flawed. That's part of the beauty. They're human, just like the rest of us. I doubt that Todd Beamer was perfect. The greatest beauty of it is that the potential for heroism is in all of us. We're flawed (even I am not without imperfection, contrary to popular belief), but we can rise to heroism and greatness.

What is wrong with perfection and the idea God is really the only truth?

"Baldwin expects perfection, Bush was praising MLK's work for civil rights not his personal life. "

Then he needed to say that. To simply heap praise is just another example of how "Revisionist History" has run rampant.

The ends do not justify the means.
