i don't believe in heroes. unless they are nerdy, japanese and appear on the show "heroes."

in any case, it's hard to argue against anointing firefighters with such a lofty title. would you train your ass off to run into a burning building to save people? doubtful. last night a twenty-three year-old firefighter died fighting a blaze in williamsburg. details are here in this article.

The apartment that Mr. Pujdak had been trying to save had been illegally converted into an artist’s loft, according to city officials.

what, you couldn't afford to pay for a space with your trust fund, you fucking freegan?
