I've been writing these down as you leave some comments here and there around the site. Anytime you want to send me a 'reading list' feel free - I'm more than likely going to be making a lengthy commute to and from downtown Chicago in the not-too-distant future, so a plethora of good reading material is a must! @Anita.

Fame gives recognition, but doesn’t automatically get you respect.

My view is that public figures have a greater responsibility and more at stake when they stumble!

So its more important their conduct begets respect [vs liked/ disliked], both in their public and more importantly, private lives.

The inherent contradiction is that in every age, there are people who will stretch the boundaries of what is acceptable – and I for one am thankful for the comic relief and iconoclasm delivered!
