P.S.Create a hero Noticed a lot of hero-worship around lately, particularly for the recently-departed? Racing car drivers and wildlife-wranglers spring to mind, just to mention a couple. Dramatic scenes of people weeping and distraught; gifts and toys and bunches of flowers laid at the gates and fences of the late lamented; state funerals and 'admission by ticket only' cere-moanees - all rather amazing, and filling our pages and screens day after day. Of course it is sad when someone dies, especially for the family, and we should feel sadness for them. But hero-worship is not quite the same. Or is it? Am I missing something here? These heroes are dead and can't 'do stuff'. I need one who is alive, who can be active in my life, who really cares about me, who looks out for me and my well-being. I like the song the Fairy Godmother sings in the movie Shrek 2. She sings 'I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light. He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be larger than life.' There is one hero I can think of, who is worth worshipping. JC is not made of plastic, or electronics, or money, or wood or clay. Oh…yeah. And he ain't dead. Sheelagh
