Superman, The Forgotten Hero?...

For most of us that see our current society filled with alcohol drinking teenagers, drug dealing hoolagans and ignorant business men, its nice to see that there some outlets were we get to see a man with some true values re-emerge.

I speak of none-other than our classic boyscout hero, Superman. Yes after such a long hiatus, the man of steel is back to take on that ever clever Lex Luther in what is hailed to be another blockbuster movie filled with amazing special effects, great battle scenes and of course the struggle between good and evil.

When I speak of good and evil however, I do not necessarily mean to be exclusive to the story of Superman Returns, but rather, the character itself. How often now-a-days do we find people such as Clark Kent? People who devote their lives to keeping up the moral code in our society? When did all these lawsuites become the answer to all the stupidity and ignorance of others? Do we even remember the time when the word "trippin" was used to describe someone falling?These days you are more likely to find people standing up for the rights they think they have by trampling on the ones that someone already possess's. Truly part of the moral fabric of society has taken as long a hiatus as the Superman series has.

Is this downfall due to our evolution as human beings in a social setting? Are we just being accustomed to being more selfish and centered upon ourselves that we have forgotten what its like to be the long forgotten "Good Guy"? Or is it mearly due to the old saying that "Nice guys always finish last"?

No one may possess the power to "leap over tall buildings in a single bound", but I sincerely hope, for the sake of humanity, that there are still people out there taking little skips in their own little way; To let us know that we are not being pushed back by the powerful radiation of moral decay.

Like Superman, let us fight off this kryptonite of society and better ourselves. So that maybe, we may "return" like the Last Son of Krypton already has.

This is Falcon, signing off.
