The danger of the "New Tiger"
Our society is very quick to forgive and move on. When a public figure screws the pooch (or gets caught screwing a pooch), all they really have to do is be genuinely sorry and beg for forgiveness. Our society in general does forgive, even seems eager to forgive. Now we have Tiger. He screwed up. He had his... 21 Apr 2010 00:09
