Questions

Where was Tiger Woods going at 2:30 AM? Why was he driving so fast as to cause such significant damage to his car? Why did his wife have to break a window with a golf club to gain access? Didn't she have a spare set of key? And where did she get the golf club? Was she in the habit of walking around the house or vicinity with golf club in hand in the wee hours of the night or was she attacking someone in the car...Tiger or someone else???

Sound philosophy...

I love this comment that Virgil Earp, a nephew of Wyatt, made in 1958: Virgil said: "A woman was safer in the Wild West than she would be today in midtown Manhattan. In the old days, there was no such thing as juvenile delinquency, no house robberies and no organized government. There was just good men and bad men - and the policy was a life for a life."

Of course that was before the days of drugs, automatic weapons and street gangs that would extract revenge for even the most minor of offenses. We live in a different world from that of Wyatt Earp and there is much good to say about "life in the old days" and how people treated people however I am not advocating a return to those days. For me, the good old days were in the forties and fifties.
