May 22nd, 2003 at 12:00 amI feel like posting, yet have nothing to say. That, my friends, results in a very boring blog entry. So I decided to turn to the ever-so-reliable news media to provide me with some material to make fun of…er, I mean talk about.
The first topic I found that interested me was this little piece of news. Now folks, I am all for equal rights. But am I the only one who sees this as potentially dangerous? Let me explain. In many sports, the best male athletes are better then the best female athletes. Be it running, basketball, soccer, etc. the previous statement is 9 times out of 10 correct. Now, I think that everybody should get the best competition they can. But if a girl is good enough to go play with the men, then sooner or later, we are going to have men say they should be allowed to go play with the girls. If the whole reason Sorenstam is allowed to play is because of fairness, then why shouldn’t those men who aren’t quite good enough to play with the best males, but could easily compete with the females not be allowed to go play with them? The current system we have now in pro sports won’t be able to sustain this and in the end, it comes down to this. Either we keep men and women seperate or we devise a new system. For instance, have 3 leagues. One for men. One for women. And one for the best of both. And honestly, I don’t how we go from what we have to what we need.
This story isn’t going to seem so funny once that snake gets hungry. I give him 3 more weeks.
And THIS made me laugh like nothing else. Well, actually, it was this quote: A media saga over the private life of Mexico’s first lady took a bizarre twist on Wednesday when she defended herself against allegations of abuse of power in a live television interview with a clown.
Does anybody besides me find it difficult to take her seriously when she is being interviewed by Bozo himself?
