What makes your hero?

Lance, Lance, Lance. I'm am tired of sports figures and entertainers worshiped as heroes and idols. A true role model is not someone doing anything for personal gain but for the gain of others. I think this inward focus on "me" as fostered by today's sports figures and entertainers is a big reason why there is a decline in respect for one another among ...well society really, not just youth. If we had more respect for one another I imagine there would be less bullying, rape, and murders. Just a thought.
