...large amounts of money and betray their friends' trust. Embezzlement, shoplifting, cheating on exams and lying all act to undermine the general welfare. I don't want to preach, but I want to conclude with this thought: if you can't act honestly for unselfish reasons, do it for selfish ones.

...Robert Reich, who enjoyed a cushy teaching gig before moving inside the Beltway, seems similarly at sea. ``I've never seen this degree of animosity,'' said Reich. ``I can't explain it.'' Well, listen, Mr. Secretary, we're not talking about some garden-variety dysfunctional family here. These are selfish, spoiled sorts--billionaire owners who treat their teams as toys and millionaire players who charge kids for autographs. To comprehend the distrust between the two sides in this dispute, look to Northern Ireland for guidance...
