Unfortunately,nothing is going to happen to ballplayers that cheated to gain financial advantage in the work place.That's a sad example of our society's lack of interest in ethics.We will put a guy in jail for stealing a pair of boots,but not for stealing millions of dollars in a non-violent way.There is very little demand to go after white collar criminals who are rich and famous.If,however,they lie under oath about it,then it's out of the court of public opinion.It's then not a case of white collar crime.It's perjury,and the judicial system does punish that crime.So,the key(if you're rich and famous) is not to lie under oath about it.Clemons' mistake was to try to get out of this "in total," and the only way he could do it was to go under oath and try to dispute it.He punished himself by trying to totally get out of this.He couldn't take it being known that he was a cheat.The others could handle it.His ego could not handle it. So,he cut himself more than the others got cut.Same with this Martha bitch.She couldn't take losing even a lil,and so she cut herself even more than they ever could have cut her.The difference is she didn't have GEEDUBBYA as a friend.So,she did time,and Roger won't(Geedubbya will pardon this family friend.)
