A Thought: On Sports and American Priorities

It would take a teacher, fireman or police officer just about 1,887 years to make what Drew Brees is going to make in five.  I've got nothing against sports, or Brees, but there's something seriously messed up about that.

It's also about a tenth of what was cut from Louisiana's medical and education budget for the coming year, and more than 100 times what was needed to maintain the public funding its public libraries are losing.
