@Lynda if "preventing damage" is the goal where does one stop. Recent studies say running more than 25km a week is bad for you, so should we ban the marathon. What about American football and all the concern regarding head injuries. And all those athletes who shoot cortisone into aching joints only to end up with permanent damage. What about the mental state of children pushed by parents to excel, at the cost of a normal childhood. The list goes on. As for fair, what about all the technological advantages rich countries have over poor ones - better training facilities, better equipment, financial support, scientifically formulated diets. If we are going to be truly fair shouldn't all athletes have access to the same training and equipment. Where does one draw the line.
I was in accord with you for a while then I heard how ruthless he was. How he'd bully and blacklist and push anyone in front of the bus in order to better his career. He didn't care about anyone. Especially anyone who got in his way.
How wonderful. And if it has been done before or done better so what. To see a bunch of friends willing and eager to join together and dance - for their friend's marriage - WOW - that's love. All the more true for the "bad" dancers. Most of us would have chickened out instead of doing the funky chicken. BEAUTIFUL. AWESOME. A musical come to life. Made my day.
