The problem with our society is that its portfolio of “heroes” are, for the most part, made up of people who fought the fires. But for me the real heroes are those who focused on preventing them. Who’s gonna sing praises for the people who were responsible for fires that did not happen? Nobody. Too boring. There are lots of blockbuster movies about dashing firemen but very few about people who invented fire hydrants, enforced the use of firewalls, and installed sprinkler systems. The heroes in the movie Armageddon were the characters of Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis who rocketed to space to nuke the approaching asteroid. Not mentioned at all where the scientists over the decades who built the US’s awesome space program that made that tale within our civilization’s reach.---Kate Natividad, GetRealPhilippines.COM
