"You have too much success/food/wealth/etc. You must step aside and let others have some." Socialism or capitalism? Ask a Wall Street banker what's fair and he'll laugh. Ask a shark about fairness and compassion and he'll laugh. Then he'll eat your head.
Not defending it, just explaining it as I see it.

4 posts in rapid succession. You're all fired up on this. In this country we call sociopathic sharks people of greed. We don't like greed. While they may exceed at what they do, they are not whole. They don't even like themselves.

In Bobby Riggs autobiography, (Court Hustler) he said that the first time he saw a golf course, he knew he was looking at a big beautiful outdoor pool hall.

I agree with your greed statement. I'm not defending their behavior, just explaining it as I see it. Understand the enemy and thus have an advantage. There may be some self-loathing with Tiger but he probably puts that aside when he picks up the clubs. Maybe Lindsey Vaughan helps him with his self-loathing and that's one reason why he's playing better now? The lonely billionaire is a classic theme but they don't often give back their money. Not all of it.

More people watch golf these days because Tiger is so good, when he wasn't playing it wasn't as interesting. He is really good at it, I was disappointed in him and his women but what the heck, I like to watch him play.
How's that dog killer quarterback doing. |

Golf is two things these days, business and a game. The game won yesterday afternoon.
