Each year takes with it some of our friends, relatives and those public figures we see as friends, or perhaps, something other than a friend, some heroes, some villains, and some a little of each. 2012 was no different.

Some of us old timers remember the “Old West” – John Wayne to the rescue, shooting all the bad guys in sight. We know that habit has ridden right into 2013 with us anytime we notice children’s video games or watch the movie previews. We’re encouraged to shoot everyone in sight. “Hi Ho, Silver, shoot ‘em dead” must still be the theme.
