With about 9 minutes to go before I clock out of work, I just read that Barry Bonds had a urine sample from 2003 come back positive for PED (Performing Enhancement Drugs).  This compiled with Michael Phelps getting caught smoking weed from a bong and lets not mention all of the other athletes, musicians, actors, actresses with skeletons in their closets.

I beg the question: Who is a hero that has not done drugs, smoked or who has NOT done something illegal.  WWE past and some present excluded...who are this generations heroes?  I am turning 30 years old in May.  I have always looked up to certain people that have now fallen out of the limelight, excluding Batman, but he is a fantasy hero.  With this texting, facebook, youtube age, who are the heroes of their generation? A generation that seems to lack in a hero that is clean, there for the greater good and no problems with the law.  A true hero. 

I am tired of hearing excuses from celebrities, athletes and other famous people about their misguided antics only to "feel sorry" for them in a pre-written statement from a publicist. 

Anyone can give me a true example of a hero, feel free to let me know.  I have no idea who would qualify now-a-days.

3 minutes to go and I'm gone.  Got to punch out.

Later.

Parker.
