Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Good Guy Without A Gun

James Shaw, Jr. - The Waffle House Hero  - is a true hero.  We would like to think that in a moment of crisis, we would rise to the occasion and do something as heroic as he did.  The fact is that few of us would.  Shaw himself has done what heroes usually do: deny that he is a hero.

And I might believe him, if he didn't then turn around and raise almost $200,000 for the victims of the shooting.

I haven't seen Infinity Wars yet, but I hope the Waffle House Hero is in it.
