Big news today out of the city of Milwaukee. They have just erected a statue of the Fonz. Aaaaaayyyyyyy ... this is just another sign of how far our society has fallen-umundo.Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the Fonz. I grew up watching Happy Days and made it part of my usual Tuesday viewing, until Ted McGinley came along and ruined the show.
It's just a sad commentary about the United States and the low standards we have for today's heroes. In addition to the statue of the Fonz (Henry Winkler) in Milwaukee, there's one of Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) in Minneapolis and Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) in Philadelphia.
Generations before us were building statues for true American heroes like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, et al. And, now we have statues for the Fonz? C'mon ... what's next a statue of Mr. Kotter in front of the New Yankee Stadium? Or how about a Tim Taylor statue in the heart of Detroit?
In the future, I hope that cities will consider erecting statues for those who truly deserve it; like our nation's military heroes, police officers and fire fighters who put their lives on the line every day to protect us -- not those who help Richie Cunningham avoid getting into a rumble. Aaaaayyyyyyy!!!!
