Mark McGwire Lives in Denial... Say a Prayer for Him

Date: 01/12/2010

Disgraced ex-baseball star Mark McGwire finally sobbed out his steroid confession yesterday. No one was the least surprised; no one should be the least bit impressed.   I once cheered for McGwire who hit 583 career home runs with Oakland and St. Louis, and is best known for his 1998 record-breaking home run duel with Sammy Sosa (also a steroid customer) by hitting 70. Today, I' ...

That statement seems decidedly un- Buddhist , for more than one reason. First of all, aren't all sentient beings equally important? Answer: I hope so.

The Alternate-Reality Decade

Date: 12/28/2009
