"What do you do when you've gotta be a man!"?

This anguish-filled statement, made famous in the James Dean movie Rebel Without a Cause, is a far too-little asked, too-seldom answered question among the men today. It is fashionable to be a lazy, good-for-nothing. Take, for example, the recently dropped sitcom "Two and a half Men" in which the cool guy that one should emulate is Charlie, the lazy, drunken no-good. His brother, by contrast, works for what he gets, has some semblance of a conscience and is the geeky nerd whose life one should not copy. This country would be a much better place if the men would take the time to ask, and truly ponder, what it takes to truly be a man, and hopefully go so far as to ask what is required of them when taking on the responsibilities of a man. James Dean's question was asked because of the very problem to which he needed an answer: males without a spine. If any doctor ever learns how to make a spine donation work, America and the men of America should be the first priority on his list.
