APOLOGIES

Recently there has been a "rash" of apologies. The last one I can recall, was President Bush apologizing to the Tuskeegee Airman, for 60 years of neglect and disrespect.

Prior to that, I heard an upper echelon General, apologizing for the deplorable conditions that some Veterans have had to live through at Walter Reed Army Hospital.

I believe that before that it was another General apologizing for having expressed that gays shouldn't be in the Armed Forces because they were immoral.

There have been several celebrities apologizing for things they said in the heat of the moment, and later regret having said them. That we've heard a flurry of such incidents is putting it mildly. Some (celebrities/politicians) have entered into rehab, to get treatment for their bad behavior; Or is it their speech? Doesn't anyone mean what they say any longer? Aren't people responsible for their actions, now? Is what they say now, going to be followed by an apology? I don't get it. Do these people need a script (like famous statesmen of today and yesteryear) to express themselves?

Anyway things are being repeated in cycles. Or is it the media that is repeating similar stories of repetitious (sitiuations/circumstances) drama?
