Stories we tell ourselves

Things you think about in the middle of the morning:
Americans and fake images.
Marion Morrison, a.k.a., John Wayne, never served in the military. Ever. He didn't enlist in WWII because his career was taking off.
Clinton Eastwood Jr. was never a cop. Ever. He never walked a beat. He has been an actor since his 20's. In other words, he knows absolutely nothing about being a cop or ordinary life.

So why admire these people? They did or have done nothing for the world other than perform in fairly tales where they played something they're not. At least I knew as a child Bugs Bunny was a cartoon
