Armstrong Leaves Livestrong; The Right Choice?
"Whatever Armstrong may have done as a cyclist, Livestrong has done tremendous good for a great many people afflicted with cancer and their families. He and the others involved with Livestrong provide substantial support and inspiration. Resigning as CEO is probably beneficial to Livestrong from a PR standpoint. It's too bad that it is so hard to separate the good and the bad, even in the same person. There are so many athletes whose personal lives are as messed up as their professional lives. Armstrong, in his personal life, has set a wonderful example." -- Richard Mendes
Should Boys Be Allowed to Play Girls' Sports?
"what about the rights of everyone else? When girls on the other teams joined, they expected to be playing against other girls. Rules are rules. High schools can't offer everything to everyone. Does every school have a swim team, ski team, etc? Or what about a certain academic interest that the school doesn't provide education for? This is life. Let's not turn it into discrimination." -- Brenda Hughes

Lauren" -- Lauren
"I am an Italian American grandmother. I stand by what I said. Mr. Chamberain served our country in the U.S. Marines and had a long career as a corrections officer. Do not try to besmirch him now. Whatever happened that day, Mr. Chamberlain was agitated, but being taunted (especially with racial slurs) and harrassed in his own home was not the way to handle the elderly gentleman. The officers were out of line and the result is a tragedy." -- Rose
