It seems incongruous to me that we lavish money on athletes who do little more than throw a ball around and actors who regurgitate what others have told them to say, yet we can't seem to afford to pay people who really make a difference like teachers, policemen, and, particular to my heart, nurses. When these athletes/actors misbehave, sometimes grossly, we essentially condone it by continuing to pay them obscene amounts of money. That, it seems to me, to be a double standard because we generally will not allow that type of behaviour from "regular" people and we certainly scold our children for said same behaviour. When will this insanity stop?
