Due to the nature of my business, I come in contact with many youngsters on a daily basis. Let me assure you that the days of youngsters looking up to athletes as role models are by in large gone. The vast majority of youngsters know that society is morally bankrupt and most on Wall Street have no feeling for their fellow man outside of making a profit. So despondent are most youngsters today, it takes me months before a youngster will trust that what I say is in his best interests and not in the best interests of my bank/brokerage account.

Most teenagers know they live in the rip off society and life is not fair because those in office who make the laws are for the most part slime balls and low lifes who are on the take.

So, westpacific, I wouldn't worry about the wrong message being sent by Tiger, Bush, Obama, or any other person in the limelight. These kids already know the story, that's all many of them see and hear during the course of the day.
