L'affaire d'Armstrong

"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists have agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." -Aldous Huxley, from the foreword to "Brave New World." Maybe Lance Armstrong understand this now. For my part, I "forgive" him. I am NOT defending his unethical acts. But I never had any real, personal reason to hold his offenses against him. In any event, George W. Bush is culpable for FAR greater crimes. And Oprah is a criminal just by virtue of her being a billionaire. It's time to move on, America!
