We may disagree from time to time, but one thing we all share as former Dubs is the knowledge of a "home we'll never see" - the phoney paradise we were promised.
If I may, then, I'd like to borrow this song, dedicated to the rescue workers at the world trade center, and send it out to all the Supermen, Superwomen, Supergirls and Superboys here.

Five For Fighting - Superman
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me
I’m more than a bird... I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd... but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed... but wont you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away... away from me
It’s all right... You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It’s not easy to be me.
