Caped wonders with super powers have been created throughout history during times when people were in dire need of "heroes". They could fly or do a Houdini from the arch-rival's snare. But, these heroes stay on the comic book (or the silver screen). Hence, we in the real world face challenges ourselves--sans super powers. Whether it's families breaking apart or declining literacy in the country, it is we who answer the call from where we are, with what we have.

Home of the brave
This is part of the header of a blog that I just recently discovered. It is, simply put, a breath of fresh air, considering what ideas and attitudes the blogworld (and mainstream media in general) is overflowing with. That Modestly Yours lists more than a dozen contributors of varied ages and backgrounds turning in well-written posts takes care of the diversity factor.
Take my word for it: this is definitely not run-of-the-mill stuff.
Upon visiting today, I chanced upon several interesting entries -- and even more interesting comments! Here's a portion of one such comment, written by "HopingForStarsWithGrace":
Mariah is extraordinarily, wonderfully musical, with a voice that can carry without a microphone. I would have preferred her to sing her heart out, without being as still as a mannequin to avoid over-exposure on national television. And that is usually what happens to girls who wear clothes that they are nearly falling out of--while feeling increasingly uncomfortable, they hunch over, get all nervous, and stand abnormally still. A woman who reveals her beauty, comfortably, walks gracefully, moves freely, is [irresistible]. And she's usually not wearing a dress [that] suffered the consequences of an overly enthusiastic set of scissors.
