What To Think

It was odd today, watching pro-football and seeing Michael Vick on the screen. Seems so bizarre to me. Its almost as if he has somehow redeemed himself and without even apologizing, is now well on his way to more glory and fame. What an interesting double standard in our world. Guess having enough money does count for something (as if that surprises anyone). We barely pay our teachers, police officers, nurses, social workers, and others peanuts.... and they do so much to protect us and mold our children. Then, we have musicians with the most foul language and negative outlook on life; professional athletes using steroids, raping, shooting, lying on the witness stand; actors and actresses being disrespectful to judges, showing up stoned to the awards ceremonies - and all these supposed heroes for our children making a fortune. Having more money than they will ever need and squandering it. No wonder our world is all messed up! And should we be surprised when our kids talk back, hate school, expect immediate gratification and are always angry? Can you tell who they are learning it from?
