When will people learn to stop worshiping other humans: be they athletes, cops, fireman, soldiers, actors, musicians…whomever.

I totally agree. As an entrepreneur, I used to really admire Steve Jobs. I guess not so much the guy but the mind and his relentless ability to create great products.
But then I would find out more about him and anyone that read his authorized biography by Walter Isaacson, knows how much of an @sshole Jobs really was. Even after he got cancer, he was a very bitter guy and continued to be a jerk to many people until the very end.
It was unbelievable what a jerk the guy was. Also, after reading it I wondered how many of the ideas were really his because he would often take credit for something that his employees would come up with.
I agree we really need to take a good look at who are “heroes” amongst us. Lance Armstrong certainly shouldn’t be on anyone’s hero list.
