Today's heros

Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
-- Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows"

Krebs passed away and Leonard Cohen has something else to croon about, several thousand other people in our own country are living in worse conditions. There are some that stand out among the masses however, and these are today's heros.
