If you click on the title, you'll get to the story I reference. This story is being forwarded around between my colleagues. Apparently, in North Carolina, an independent insurance agent was being investigated . . . by some state official . . . in response to a complaint. And, according to the story, he thought murdering the investigator was the answer to his problems.
I know every state is different, although most state governments have folks who keep tabs on businesses to make sure they pay taxes and aren't too criminal in their dealings. I know my office, and my parent company, has annual audits and reviews from independent sources. But, I can't even imagine what sorts of criminal dealings this guy must have been involved with if he thought murder was the rational response.
I quipped just this morning to someone that the reason I'm not a criminal is because I know how I'd get caught. Clearly, thus guy doesn't watch enough CSI or Law and Order.
I don't know if I'll ever figure out the criminal side of some of you humans. It seems you spend more time trying to hid being in trouble than getting yourselves out of trouble.
So, Charles Barkley's comments on ESPN tonight were utterly refreshing in his willingness to admit that his recent gambling problems were totally of his own making. It's a sad day when someone taking responsibility for their actions is the exception.
