Jon Halsey: Funny Money As I shuffle off to the twilight, I despair of our community getting to a point where we can acknowledge a problem and discuss possible resolutions without ad hominem attacks, or arguments that attempt to manipulate emotions rather than the use of valid reasoning. - JOHN HALSEY By Jon Halsey Personal Commentary All these years I've been told that wisdom comes with experience but at the ripe old age of three score and a dozen it seems that I just keep getting dumber. I don't understand the argument that several folks have made equating professional athletes salaries to public servants pay. It seems to me that comparison makes as about as much sense as equating a pet rock to a pet dog. (cum hoc ergo propter hoc) In the situation of the athlete vs. the public servant, it seems that the only similarity is that they both chose which field they wanted to work in. If all professional athletes salaries were suddenly reduced to a maximum of $5,000 per year - there would not be one additional red cent available to pay the public servant. In fact, the argument could be made that there would be less available for the public servant since a major source of public tax revenue would disappear along with the players private sector salaries. As I shuffle off to the twilight, I despair of our community getting to a point where we can acknowledge a problem and discuss possible resolutions without ad hominem attacks, or arguments that attempt to manipulate emotions rather than the use of valid reasoning.
