For God’s Sake People, Leave Tiger Woods Alone!
Although Tiger Woods is not a politician, what is going on right now might very well be called “politics,” the personal politics of celebrities. I am steaming mad that the media insist on smearing the good name of anyone who is newsworthy just to sell papers and/or get traffic for their websites. It’s all about money. Nothing is sacred.
I feel terrible for Tiger Woods and his wife, and even for his alleged mistresses. And all of this scandal even makes me long for the days when famous people’s lives were their own. For example, we, the public, did not have a clue that Rock Hudson was gay until he became ill with Aids. All of those years of having him as movie idol would have been ruined if we had known about his private life. Not that he was gay, but that he wasn’t truly the ladies’ man we thought he was.
On the other hand, you may argue, we should not believe in illusions and lies. Transparency is the watchword of the day. But listen up, people, our illusions are sometimes the only good things we have going on. Why shatter them? We have become a society of cynics, arm-chair philosophers, and holier than thou hypocrites. We easily judge others while excusing our own behavior. We salivate at the bad fortune of our fellow man. We think we are so evolved, but we are really not. We still have that blood thirst, that lust for danger, trouble, combat we inherited from our caveman ancestors.
Leave Tiger Woods alone, for God’s sake. As the bible says, who will throw the first stone? We are all guilty of one thing or another, of sins and transgressions. It is not our place to judge Tiger Woods or any other person.

How do you know that CG was gay and when did he have aids? Aren’t you confusing him with someone else? I’d like to know, if you can prove it.
Carol, thank you for jogging my senile brain. It was Rock Hudson, and I have made the change in the article.
