True dat. Woods was brought up with a golf club in his hand, and now he finds that he can’t be much of a husband.
Never got those skills, they are all in his 9 iron.

He and his family will get on the way they have to. I laugh though at how unkind people can be at other’s tragedy.Obviously most have never had tragedy in their own lives, or else they would not be that way in relation to the issue.

I think you're dead wrong here.

First, most people, if not everyone, has experienced tragedy, loss, grief, embarrassment and so on at some level. The very reason people react so strongly to revelations such as those surrounding Tiger is that they have, indeed, suffered themselves (either as the victim or the perpetrator of sorrow) and they rise up to defend against this occurring to others. This, identifying and caring for the *innocents,* is a very human response.

Secondly, to condemn publicly a public figure's actions can never be "unkind." I think, rather, it's "unkind" to the innocents and society as a whole to remain silent when this type of outrage occurs.
