1020.1September 6 - Mary MalingGIAMEM::JLAMOTTEJoin the AMC and 'Take a Hike'Fri Sep 06 1991 11:424
    Mary Maling is having lunch with the kidnapper today...and she has the
    ransom with her.
    
    I suspect that around 1 this afternoon she will be Hero of the Day!
1020.2MARYMARYMARY!!!SCARGO::CONNELLCHAOS IS GREAT.Fri Sep 06 1991 12:527
    Joyce, ya beat me. Having seen the ransom offering and been "in" on the
    plans, I also feel that Mary will be the Hero of the Day also. I just
    hope the kidnapper realizes that the portion of the ransom that
    contains her pics. must also be included. Hell, I'm letting the few
    shots I'm in go in.  YYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYY Mary and E, we still love ya.

1020.10"Heroine of the Day"?CUPMK::SLOANECommunication is the keyTue Sep 17 1991 17:534
    Shouldn't this note be "Heroine of the Day"?  Or, "Heroine or Hero of
    the Day"?

"Heroine" is sexist.

How about "Heroic person of the day"?

1020.12REGENT::BROOMHEADDon't panic -- yet.Tue Sep 17 1991 18:285
    What's the matter?  Hero is a girl's name.

    besides, I don't think a word is sexist, just because it's
    gender-specific. It's only sexist if the gender-specific word is being
    used as a derogatory term

    Last I read mythology, Hero was female (and a priestess of love).
    
    Have the retro right wing males changed even that! Hurrumph!

 How about saying _why_ you are nominating people for "hero of the day"?
1020.20Re: .19CSC32::J_CHRISTIEWatch your peace & cuesWed Sep 18 1991 19:177
	A hero to me is not someone who accomplishes a single outstanding
heroic deed.  A hero to me is someone who is consistently courageous and
compassionate, someone who sustains through the struggle of 'the long haul.'

	These persons I've nominated are genuinely heroes.

    George Bush - for the stand-down of the nuclear weapons.
1020.31BTOVT::THIGPEN_Sfeet of clay, all the wayWed Oct 02 1991 10:409
yah, sometimes GHWB does something I can agree with without reservation, and 
standing-down the tactical nukes is in that category.

now, if I could only believe that the intercontinental ballistics still had 
some long-term use, and that we are right to keep them!  (We end up with more
of them, after the START treaty effect, than we had when we started negotiating
START.)

well, gotta start somewhere!

    Debbi Jancaitis for the strength that she is showing to console me
    electronically through mail and notes while she has her own troubles
    and sorrow right now. 
    
    And I don't care about the one per day rule. All the members of the
    file who do this and tyake the time to care about others while they
    have their own problems, some of which make mine and others look minor
    by comparison. A kind word, a hug, some personal experience related
    that might help the person in need and all the while you have much need
    yourselves.
    
    I have never met so many folks like this as I have in here. You are all
    special heroes in my book and always will be. Each and every day.
    
    Love and Hugs to you all,
