Extinguishing the Lamp

The legend has it that Diogenes walked about with his lamp even in broad daylight looking for an honest man. Our sports stars are now fallen, no longer heroes, but practitioners of he who cheats the most wins. Lance Armstrong, who had apparently done so much good, is forever labeled a cheater. Alex Rodriguez has struck out as a role model. Tom Brady wears a crooked halo. Even the most notable Presidential candidate is known more for her lies than her accomplishments. Old Diogenes may still be looking somewhere, as it seems society is corrupt to its very core.
