Jack Valenti, long time LBJ aide, and later President of the Motion Picture Association, said that when he died, he wished to be buried in Texas, as he wanted to remain politically active.

If you don't care enough to cheat, you don't care enough to win!

The national pastime is not baseball, never was. It is cheating. I'm convinced we could have tax code simplification in a month but making it simple would eliminate many opportunities to cheat, and all real Americans LOVE to cheat. They'll endure most anything as long as they feel like they can cheat on it somehow.

I live, for awhile longer, in a marina enclave on the bay here. As a resident, I am entitled to a card from the nearby Loews Resort entitling us to small discounts on meals, merchandise in the gift shop, rooms when we have guests etc. We have to prove that we live here by taking utility bills, current ones, to obtain the card, or renew it. Every year parents of school kids must prove they live where they claim they do by furnishing rent agreements, utility bills etc to the school district. Every year some athlete gets pinched because he actually lives in one part of town but is claiming to live somewhere else to stay on a favored high school team. I know things like this happen in Texas too. Every time I drive on the freeways, I see cars cheating on the diamond lanes, two or more passengers only, especially at metered onramps, where those whose time is too valuable to wait like the rest of us cruise blithely by, all by themselves. Diamond lane use by violators is so common place the CHP can't hope to pull over even a significant fraction of the violators and have given up, essentially.

Cheating is pervasive, in almost every activity of life.
