Since when did a conversation about "perceived injustices" as you put it and envy turn into a conversation about a murderer and an adulterer? Maybe I presumed too much in my comments about what the "masses" and people think of Tiger Woods. But I sure don't envy his wealth. I envy his golfing skills just the same as I would envy Michael Jordans baseketball skills, not his endorsement $$. Now whether my comments affect anyone's feelings of perceived injustice in the world where people demand to see sports athletes and are willing to pay for it, remains to be seen. I have no problem with anyone who negotiates a contract to play basketball for $120 million dollars just as the Timberwolves have recently done. The market is willing to supply it, fans demand to see it. Sounds like the normal course of a thriving capitalist society working to make all ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS happy. Bry
