And there is the solution, right there. Have few pedestals, and be very certain you know the person(s) very well. With public figures, all we know is what we read or hear about them. Few get to really know them. The only person I have on a pedestal is my bride of 40+ years. Anyone who puts up with me for that long is destined for sainthood!
