Where have all the heros gone?

Seems like only yesterday that there was interest, there was hope, there was a fighting spirit. Where did it go?

I fear that the fighting spirit killed itself. I fear that those most interested in making things better forgot who they were fighting for, and wound up fighting each other.

I fear that we forgot that debate is a healthy thing, like the fire that burns our forest and readies our soils for new growth, like new ideas. Where has our fight gone? Where has our interest gone?

When will we stand up?

Will you bite the hand that feeds? Or will you stay down on your knees?
