Heroes?

I'm on John Edwards mailing list. [obviously he's a fan] But he surprised me with his latest campaign ploy. It's "Heroes of One America". Great, I thought, he's going to honor the troops, or fire-fighters, or some other deserving group. So I clicked on over to find.... it's whoever wants to nominate themselves and upload their picture. There's a donation involved as well, but isn't that just special? We have found the real heroes and they are us. Requirement? Ability to upload and a desire to feel good about yourself. Sounds like he's found his base.
