And 2 tours in Iraq is irrelevent. If you've been there twice and still haven't gotten it figured out, that in itself shows your level of self deception. Do your homework, friend! The founding fathers were anything BUT Christians. Secular humanists would be a more relevant term. Wow, it blows my mind to see the warped version of reality some people see the world through.

It's really sort of impossible to overstate how cool EK was to a generation of men and boys in the '60s and '70s. So you kids who grew up watching "Jackass" on MTV should mosey on over to Youtube and check out the man who makes those guys look like Little Lord Fauntleroy playing in the sandbox.
Though he had mostly faded from view over the years, Knievel had been in the news this week because he and rapper Kanye West had settled a lawsuit over the use of the daredevil's image in a music video. In 2002, Knievel started Evel Knievel Days in his hometown of Butte, a celebration that drew over 50,000 visitors a year to watch stunts and celebrate the man.
Though he was a hero to many, Knievel didn't like that word at all: "It's the most overused, undeserving word. Too many people think the wrong people are heroes. A soldier…a scientist…an astronaut…those are heroes….I was good at riding a motorcycle and a pretty good businessman. Not a hero."
We're going to have to respectably disagree on that one, EK. And I've got the scar on my wrist to prove it. R.I.P
