How should sports players be disciplined?

Convicted felons should be allowed to return to prior positions as professional sports players.  They need a job, and probably worked much of their life in pursuit of their sports career.  If players slap, spit on or abuse the coach then they should be fined.  If they continue to misbehave they should loose their playing position and sit on the bench.  Paying no heed to any of these should then result in losing their job as a sports player.

Thomas Jefferson on Public Debt

I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared. - Thomas Jefferson

 

Thomas Jefferson means that if you owe other countries or people, you will not be able to do quite what you want to.  Your first obligation in that situation is to pay off your debt, but then you will have a lot less money and can’t get what you want.  You might even be very vulnerable to inflation, and high trade prices, etc.

Freedoms

If the freedom of the press is limited it will no longer be freedom.  With freedom comes great responsibility, which the American culture has abused and misused.  The founders of the USA never intended us to use our freedom by doing what is wrong and then as an excuse say that America is a free country.  Ever notice how shows like Jerry Springer have demented perverted people on there?  The excuse they always give is that they can do anything they want.  Do not abuse your freedoms!
