Captain America op-ed in San Diego Union-Tribune

This morning, to commemorate the inital showing of Captain America: The First Avenger at San Deigo Comic-Con, the San Diego Union-Tribune graciously printed an op-ed I wrote titled "Captain America reminds nation of shared values," in which I argue that Cap can help Americans see the values and virtues that they hold in common--our core principles--rather than the policy differences that separate us.

[UPDATE: The Washington Times also printed the op-ed on Friday.]

While you're at it, check out this commentary on my op-ed from The Displaced Plainsman, as well as my chapter on Captain America and modesty in the free e-book Superheroes: The Best of Philosophy and Pop Culture. (And, of course, the lovely George Perez portrait of Cap to the right!)

I hope to have two more Captain America pieces online tomorrow--stay tuned!
