?When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.? M.K. Gandhi

Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.,
preacher, writer, thinker... Mahatma Gandhi?

Mary Harris "Mother" Jones,
marcher, advocate, organizer... Lucy Stone?

Ernesto "El Che" Guevara,
revolutionary, teacher, freedom fighter... Pauol Freire?

General Doctor Fidel Castro,
dictator, communist, decimator... Vladmir Lenin?

General Augusto Pinochet,
mercenary, hater, destroyer... Osama bin Laden?

wrecked ideology, decimated populace

unprecedented rhetoric, revolutionary dissidence

one a hero
warrior
fighter
one a rebel
one a leader

one a mercenary
assassin
destroyer
one a murderer
one a killer

grey settles over the night, stealing hope from the daylight, and we look over the Potomac, looking for another hero.
