Plenty of people thought that Don Draper and Walter White were heroes.

In our defense, I'd like to say that we have been living in a society that has been teaching us from birth to worship - no, fetishize is a more accurate term - the Don Drapers and Walter Whites of this world for hundreds of years now.

It's not an excuse... more just a mitigating factor that should be taken into account.
