The faces on TV are all corrupt self centered individuals be they actors, politicians, atheletes, businessmen. Society is a joke sometimes. There is no shame, no honor in those who should be role models. I doubt there ever was. I wonder, did everyone who gets to the pinnacles of success have the lessons of childhood beaten out of them by the world ?

What sector hasn;t been infested by greed, and the cutthroat competitiveness that feed it? If only baseball were the only place that ethics has collapsed.

Steroids and HGH, combined with hard physical workouts, are cheating. Winning the genetic and cultural lottery is the only legitimate formula for athletic success. You can't select yourself in this game, you are selected. Greatness in sports is reserved for the fittest, genetically. Steroids and HGH, combined with hard physical workouts, are cheating.

We now have it in baseball, politics, banking, Wall Street and of course it tarnished the Olympics and the Tour de France. Honor and honest efforts are fading in our society as hard-won virtues.

But why is the man who spent five years bringing peace and quiet to Northern Ireland worrying about a kids game played by adults. Maybe he can fix the Spears marriage next, it's not like the Middle East is a powder keg or something. Maybe some MLB exhibitions in Gaza will fix everything.
