He wasn't so much a "hero," he was one of the great minds of our time. Many many people are paying respects to him all over the world, Gills, including up in Canada, and it's not because he was rich. I'm surprised at your attitude; I thought you realized that not all we Americans are selfish money-grubbers any more than all Canadians drink Yukon Jack and say "eh?" all the time.
