Re: family values
"In the case of the wrestler and if low-hormone psychosis proves to be a problem, I see the casual acceptance of steroid use among segments of our society to be essentially a values problem. I wouldn't use them and didn't even consider it during my athletic days in high school and college (and I had some athletic scholarship offers). Others clearly weren't raised with the same sense of right and wrong."In my understanding, there has never been a time when "the same standards of right and wrong" have been universally taught and upheld. People have always attempted anything they felt they could get away with. The so-called permissive culture of the 1960's was in some ways a refreshing antidote to the ridiculously restrictive cultures that preceded it, each of which produced its fair share of horrors . . . like slavery, war, and infected blankets for the natives.Herring405
