Where are all the heroes?

They keep their mouths shut if they know what's good for them. It has become standard operating procedure to lift up our heroes and then to tear them down. So I am not too surprised at how the media is attempting to castigate Ashley Smith for her exceptional handling of Brian Nichols which saved her life and the lives of many others.

I am, however, surprised that it took only two days before the media onslaught.

It appears that many in the media are suspicious of Ms. Smith's method of disarming Brian Nichols because she did not display the appropriate anger toward him for his murderous rampage. However a cursory review of negotiation 101 validates that Ms. Smith did a expert job without any formal training. Go figure!

Update: The media's beginning to soften on Ms. Smith

REVISIONIST LIBERALS ARE IDIOTS, HALFWITS AND RETARDS

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a few days because I didn't have anything useful to say. But thank God for Antonin Scalia calling Liberals who want the constitution to be considered a living document, the morons that they have shown themselves to be throughout this whole terrorism exigency. By JONATHAN EWING, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 55 minutes ago PONCE, Puerto Rico - People who believe the Constitution would break if it didn't change with society are "idiots," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says. In a speech Monday sponsored by the conservative Federalist Society, Scalia defended his long-held belief in sticking to the plain text of the Constitution "as it was originally written and intended." "Scalia does have a philosophy, it's called originalism," he said. "That's what prevents him from doing the things he would like to do," he told more than 100 politicians and lawyers from this U.S. island territor...

SCAR Letter 6: The Most Dangerous Word in a Man’s Mouth — Explain

Listen. She tests you. Eyes narrow. Head tilts. “Why you?” “You’re not my type.” “This doesn’t make sense.” And you answer. You start explaining. The second you explain— you lose the room. Explanation is weakness in a suit. It smells like apology. It reads like fear. Every sentence is a shovel. Each reason is more dirt. You bury her hunger under your paragraphs. She didn’t want your proof. She wanted your fire. She didn’t want your logic. She wanted your center. But you handed her a lecture. You put her on the throne. You asked for a grade. You shrank. That’s why she cooled. Not because you weren’t man enough, but because you turned into a little boy. A boy with his hand raised: “Did I get it right, teacher?” Here’s the move you should have made. She throws: “You’re not my type.” Don’t explain. Don’t defend. Catch it. Flip it. Send it into her body. “Yeah? And how’s your type worked out for you? That’s why you’re here wit...

Why Tyrone Always Gets the Girl

Because admiration is no substitute for desire. Most men believe women fall for: Six figures. Six feet. Six-pack abs. They think if they just impress her if she admires their intelligence, their loyalty, their potential they’ll win her over. But admiration is no substitute for desire. Picture this: She smiles politely. She thanks you. She even says, “You’re a great dancer.” But when passion calls, she doesn’t move toward admiration. She moves toward presence. The man who carries it. The man who doesn’t bend for approval. The man who never asks permission. The man who knows what he wants. That’s Tyrone. I lived it with Anne. The pull was electric. For three weeks, we burned hot. I didn’t have to prove myself. It just was. But then I stumbled. I fumbled the ball. I confessed feelings before she was ready. The connection collapsed. Her desire vanished. And I became the invisible man. That’s the scar: A woman may respect your kindness. She may admire your intelligence. S...
