I always have disliked the idea of role models. I've never had one because I'm cynical. Everyone has faults. It's like when people get pissed about a professional athlete showing themselves to be morally bankrupt. They are a human being and human beings are flawed. Don't put people on a pedestal. Are their traits I like about certain people? Absolutely. Can I agree or disagree with someone on politics and still find things I like and dislike about them? Yep. Am I going to put any of these people up on a pedestal? Hell no.
I should take a moment to say, however, that I do expect people in the public light to act respectable. But I honestly expect it of everyone. I hold everyone to the same standards, including myself. Everyone falls short, though. That's life.
