Heroes:
I admire lots of people, mostly of those I don't KNOW personally. Other I do. But I must say, first that I prefer the word "respect" better than "idol", "fan" or even "star". Aleister Crowley used to say, in "Liber Al vel Legis", that (I, 3: "Every man and every woman is a star"). That is: everyone could be that star unless don't decide, by other hand, to be a moron.
