| 07 September 2010 |
| |
| The role models we choose speak volumes about ourselves. In times when physical might translates into physical “right”, mighty warriors will become popular folk heroes. Historically, explorers of far distant lands, sometimes beyond the edge of the world, fired up the imaginations of ordinary mortals.
