Good article, but I think OJ is a psycopath and would have done all this famous or not.

Pride goeth before a fall. Its happened all too often in history and will continue to happen as long people think their place in life lets them do whatever they want, the consequences be damned.

>> Those who star in sports that are big in educational institutions football and basketball being classic examples can start having the rules bent in their favor as early as high school.
Evaluating the effects of a liberal education is no less important. At least those in sports are often aiming for high goals they know only a few can reach. I'm not sure the same can be said for those dispersed throughout the rest of the education market.
Good article.

The conviction of Simpson goes against a fundamental principle of American jurisprudence, that jocks are above the law. /sarcasm off
When Vick tries to make his comeback, he's going to find out that most football fans are also dog fans and aren't going to appreciate a player who threw dogs to the dogs.

Thanks for the ping jaz. Appreciate your efforts.
Another thought provoking article by Dr. Sowell. One need stop and think about it. Often these thoughts of Dr. Sowells on various topics pass us by. We tend to read something, and just go onto the next topic without looking at the depth of meaning. Dr. Sowell looks beyond, and sees what we miss, then calls our attention to the matter.
I for one appreciate having my cage rattled once in awhile.

. Often they are people who have taken enormous risks that were completely unnecessary and with little pay-off. I don't think O.J. spent a lot time weighing the benefits and risks of sawing Nicole's head off.

To add a few more examples-
the police officers who broke into the home of Pedro Navarro Oregon to look for drugs sans warrant, and shot him in his bed.
the police officers who shot an unarmed Sean Bell who was attending his own bachelor party.

This was posted again today, in the Contra Costa Times.
The sentence that ‘got’ me was this:
Leona Helmsley said that paying taxes was for “the little people.”
Leona Helmsley left 8 BILLION dollars in trust for her dogs.
She skipped every tax she could. Would she have paid her tax dollars to support all these bail-outs?
“Paying taxes is for the ‘little’ people.” Guess I’m now a ‘little people’.

I saw Archie Griffin on with hannity tonite. A two time Heisman winner, he was very grounded, articulate and personable. He attributed his not getting carried away with fame to having a great family (parents) and believing in God.
He was very impressive, and i’m not an Ohio state fan.
