Oddly enough, the first person I remember idolizing as a child was stunt motorcyclist Evel Knievel — and what greater horror could there be than hearing what a bad, violent person your youthful hero may have been?
I suppose I’d feel this sort of disillusionment all the time if I’d ever become a sports fan. Luckily, I soon matured enough to stop idolizing mere performers of physical feats and instead idolize philosophically and morally significant people — like James Randi, a magician.
