Emails #62: Working Title

Benito-

We are getting close to something. People throughout time have needed heroes. The world now, in its dangerous and cynical shape, needs heroes. America has had the wind taken out of it's sails. It too needs heroes. What better hero for America than Captain America? The need for heroes is so strong that if none are handy, we invent them. Where was Cap when the space shuttle exploded? Out on a smoke break? Cap represents American virtues. He is the kind of person we all want to be, compassionate, full of conviction, forthright, honest and moral. Where was Cap during Vietnam? Cap is also a leader who inspires hope. Does Wolverine or any of the 60,000 other X-Men inspire hope? Cap is the role model we need to help us pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and continue on...

We can also make it something like "modernmyth.runicfilms.com" website although, I don't know if we'd want to do that. I like the idea of it being on a public/free blog service so it feels non-commercial. Also, I don't want to weight it towards Runic since it's both of ours. Blogspot is what I use now, but there are several free blog sites out there.

The only thing with using "freedom" is it is pretty broad. Do you think American spirit is to focused? I'm cool with either although, if we were going "freedom" I suppose we could use "heroism." What choo think?
