Actually, the abstinence idea is a good thing...Maybe GWB's parents should have practiced abstinence...
oh well, can't have everything.
All joking aside, the more i think about it, the more aggravated i get at some points. Seriously, this was the most rambling i've ever seen...especially the steroid use...I mean, Sure, by default, pro athletes become "role models" for children, but only if their parents don't provide an alternative or don't help their children understand. Heck, if i were that rich and played pro sports, i'd probably be drinking and partying and doing whatever with whomever as well. I mean, pro athlete or not, it's a job, sure you're in the public eye, but unlike politicians, no one says you have to give up your private life and no one says you have to live like a saint. Sure, i'd respect them more if they did, but if these were my (hypothetical) children's role models, i'd have to find a better choice for them or at least temper how they view him/her.
but that's a whole other debate against pro sports...
errg
And yea, his speech was the most rambling i've ever heard. Not to mention, he or his speechwriters really missed the boat...i dunno, it just sounded like a "oops, i have to write this paper for class by tomorrow" type paper.. He had his main points, but the transitions weren't the best and his actual message could have been...ok, should have been much better.
