He was a successful mechanic, teacher, and eventual co-owner of Arnold's restaurant.<br><br>I'm all for real-people heroes. I just mourn the fact that we're too embarrassed to have TV heroes like the Fonz and the Dukes anymore. Like I said, there's too much sneering and not enough sincerity.<br><br>As for the Dukes movie, are you really suggesting that it might surpass my expectations? What could possibly give you such high hopes?Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05192854066066991984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31700169.post-69441989005273644442005-07-26T09:33:00.000-07:002005-07-26T09:33:00.000-07:00I do not pretend to know who most of the real peop...I do not pretend to know who most of the real people you name in your post are (although I am well acquainted with the residents of Hazzard County), but I would tend to agree that this would be a better world (or perhaps country is more appropriate) were Jessica Simpson and the like were a less prominent part of it. Having said that though, do we really want a nation patterning itself off of the Fonz? Would we really have a nation of heroes or just poorly spoken, generally unemployed, motorcycle-riding, emotional recluses wearing leather jackets and saying "Hey-y-y-y-y" to cover up their deficencies? We may as well be a nation patterning itself off of its sports heroes like Terrell Owens, Charles Barkley, Chris Webber . . . . Oh wait, we are. I would vote for turning to real people for our heroes -- doctors, scientists (those struggling to cure cancer, not those working on making cigarettes more addictive), social workers, mothers.<br><br>Did I just take something light-hearted and fun and make it too serious? I only intended to point out that you ought to see the movie before you give up on it. Despite Cooter's wise words, you might find that the Duke Boys are still uplifting and inspirational.Donoghue Nationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10727477354661286085noreply@blogger.com
