Everyone is all up in arms over Tiger Woods accident over the weekend. Silly me, I thought all you had to provide is drivers license and proof of insurance. Why is it that the police are wanting to interview Tiger and his wife? In the news today was a report that the FHP are trying to gain access to Tiger’s medical records to determine if the injuries were cause by the crash or by domestic abuse. Florida law allows the case to proceed without consent. When the officers arrived Tiger was on the ground unconscious and his wife was giving him aid. She told them she heard the crash ran out broke out the back window and drug him out and laid him down on the pavement. Who knows what really happened. But if he is indeed a victim of domestic abuse, as suspected, maybe something does need to be done. If he is not then leave them alone. Let them sort out their problems and let life go on.
Now, I know we all want to know what really happened in the case of the famous golfer. But if you're in the business of trying to keep Florida safe, what's the bigger priority -- getting to the bottom of the SUV vs.. fire hydrant case, or what happened to Caylee Anthony? And why do I suspect that in time we'll get to know all about the Tiger Woods case, while there might never be justice for little Caylee ?
What is it about human nature that we want to believe the very worst about a person? Why do we do that?

I think we become entranced by all this because someone thought it would be more "entertaining" than our OWN lives...
As a result, we HAVE beocme more detached from one another...all so we can pursue other people's lives and the problem THEY have.
I think that is defining more of our human "nature" these days.
Personally, I don't buy into it.

Good post.
Good post I didn't see the media crawling all over the place when my neighbor fell off of his riding lawnmower, wanting to know if his wife knocked him off. We Americans have more news to stay informed on, like the war, the economy & health care, instead of a golfer and some party crashers.

Yes it seems the media is more into gossip than news. Conjecture seems to be the new normal for news. They drag in everyone who ever spoke to a person to dig for dirt. It is almost like they want to help destroy a man and his marriage. I for one don't care. And I resent it being forced on us over and over and over. Thanks guys for stopping by. Appreciate your comments. NKR
