Thanatos

Contrary to what you might be expecting to find in a post about me, this isn't about the God of Death.
It is about a man in Vancouver B.C. who has taken the moniker for himself. He is part of the 'Real Life Super Hero' community. He dons a costume and goes out into the streets in order to help and make a difference. In many ways he reminds me of my Papa but less violent.
Why does he do this? In his own words, “Because I was told by a police officer that all the people living on the street had nothing better to look forward to than death. So if that’s the case, maybe death ought to start taking care of these people."
It was certainly a different perspective and it's gotten me to thinking.
