The U. S. economy in 1994 went gangbusters. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the value of all final goods and services produced in the U. S. adjusted for inflation, grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent, which represents the highest growth rate of real GDP since 1984. Real GDP grew at an annual rate of 3.3 percent in the first quarter, increased to 4.1 percent and 4.0 percent in the second and third quarters, and jumped to a whopping 5.1 percent in the fourth quarter. The unemployment rate declined throughout the year, starting at 6.7 percent in January and declining to 5.4 percent in December. Non-farm payroll employment increased by an average of 294,000 per month, representing the highest percentage increase in payroll employment since 1988. Manufacturing jobs increased by an average of 30,000 per month. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), dropped to only 2.6 percent, the lowest annual rate since 1986. http://cber.uky.edu/Downloads/usecon96.htm

Go back and read what he's written over the years, dating all the way back to 1996 in the months leading up to when Tiger turned pro. Ken's dislike for Tiger stems from reasons that run deeper than merely Tiger's potty mouth, and Ken's own words provide clear evidence of this. You know it. I know it. Ken knows it. His dislike for Tiger began before Tiger ever played in a professional TOUR event, before he was ever caught uttering a naughty word on TV. He hated Tiger from the very day he signed that original $50-million endorsement deal in '96 before turning pro. He's admitted a resentment for Tiger earning so much money without so much as hitting a single golf shot in a TOUR event. He repeatedly remarked about "the ghetto element" that Tiger allegedly attracted to the game after winning the '97 Masters. None of these reasons for Ken to dislike Tiger have a thing to do with Tiger's verbal temper outbursts on the course. In fact, Tiger had not yet been caught uttering a single four-letter word on television. Ken already made it clear that he hated Tiger. Gee, I wonder why that might be. Think about it. Meanwhile, Ken has never so much as acknowledged any good that the Tiger Woods Foundation has done in mentoring underprivileged youth. Never mind the fact that Tiger, even with his temper tantrums, has lifted more young people than Ken ever will in a hundred Ken Pitts lifetimes. Ken simply doesn't like him. Do we really think that the only reason for this is that Tiger cusses? C'mon Dene. You and I both know that's not a rational reason, especially considering that Kens display of blatant hatred toward the guy dates back to before the first time Tiger uttered a bad word on TV. So Ken's reason has to be something else. Randy

And to hear you tell it, this was Tiger Woods' fault. You made it clear when you posted your remarks back then that this "ghetto element" that was showing up at golf courses everywhere was because Tiger had attracted an unseemly element to the game. So clearly, you chose to project your fear, ignorance and hatred toward minorities on to Tiger. Nice. But not at all unlike what I might expect from an unenlightened imbecile like you. > I resigned from Woodhaven in 2007 when I could not take the urban > blight any more.
