Captain America is dead...I am angry right now and full of grief at the death of this fictitious character, and have been wondering "why?" Then it hit me, like a punch to the face, I was not upset about the fictional passing of an imaginary character, but what it represented. To those that don't know, the thing that made Captain America a popular character was the way he maintained decency and morality in situations where it seemed almost impossible to due so, he never backed down when confronted with an unstoppable force, he was vulnerable, but still fought against the toughest of foes without a second of hesitation. He was the PERSONIFICATION of the good that is in America, and it touched me much on the same level as someone setting fire to the American flag. I am not a comic book fan...Hell, I think I have only read about twenty of them in the past 10 years, but I always liked this character, and it is weird that it made me feel such an emotion when I heard about this.
