Why is Tiger Woods apologizing to the public for cheating on his wife? It is absolutely ridiculous that any person other than his wife hear how he feels about what he does within his marriage. While we're on the subject, that goes for every public figure whose life has been dissected and served on a platter by the news vultures.
All these hypocrites blathering on for centuries about the sanctity of marriage, blah, blah, blah and in the same breath judging the actions of married folks. Whatever goes on between a husband and wife is strictly the business of that couple. Unless there is rape, torture or other forms of abuse going on, no one else has the right to comment. Not even their children, in my opinion.
This whole country went ballistic over former President Clinton's affair with his intern. The country was not at war, the information super highway was nicely underway, unemployment was at an all-time low, our finances were at an all-time, high.
Seriously, when two people go into a marriage, only the two of them decide where the boundaries are within every aspect of their marriage. No one else. If one of them breaks the rules that they have set up, that is also between them. No one else.
I don't care about Tiger Woods' marriage and I don't see why anyone other than his family should care. Perhaps 24 hrs News is just too much programming for the Media to handle and we need to find more newsworthy topics to cover or cut the hours of programming.
Neither Tiger Woods, nor John Edwards, no Bill Clinton nor any of these folks need to apologize to the public. That whole whine about, "Well-they-are-public-figures-and-I-trusted-them" is such a blathering, idiotic statement. Folks, they are public figures with private lives. Unless they are raping, torturing or other forms of abusing, stealing, killing or giving favors to these lovers that directly effect the public, this is no one's business but the people involved.
