ROLE MODELS?

A very nice boy of about 12 was a guest in my home. He was wearing a pair 
of shoes that cost more than $100. Ridiculous! His mother, a single parent, 
was making her money working in the laundry at a nursing home.

Every child needs someone to look up to. I suggest a law requiring all 
professional athletes, actors, singers and entertainers to have an 
up-to-date health certificate stating he or she is drug-free. And enforce it.
