Cheating
One of the individuals involved with the major league baseball steroids scandal made the following comment: "it isn't cheating if everybody else is doing it". Again remember, that is a direct quote.
Each generation has one lie that is so pervasive that the whole group is defined by that one untruth. For my generation, it was Timothy Leary's "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out". Those younger and older can comment on what lie each of your own generations
communicated as truth.
I think we just heard this generations lie. Let those of us who know better expose it for just that.

Are you Becky Underwood's brother? Are you from Florence, Alabama? What do you do at Harding?
I am a friend of Becky's from Harding days. We were housemates and she called her little brother "Davey"
Bev, yes......Becky is my sis! I was in the same class with your sister Kim, but I remember you and Ken. Ken's sister, Dorlea, is one of my favorite people in the whole world, and her husband Glen also. Good to hear from you, and tell everyone hello. Where is Kim now? I work in the Advancement office here at Harding.
Come see us when you can.
Love,
Dave
Some of the greatest lies and truths for our generation can be found in the movie, Fight Club. If you look in between the violence and the language, there's a great message there. I've included a few quotes that I think speak directly to this:
#1:
"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
#2:
We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.
(and then he proceeds to say that the whole ship is going under)...
Very graphic, but very true...
I may have been a little behind this generation but I remember "If it feels good, do it".
