Jim Dent - The man, his books and the bottle

[Aesculus gilmus]

I don't follow sports or sports authors as much as most of you probably do. I did when I was younger and this guy has been around for so long that I recognized his name immediately.

This was a very interesting read. I've often said that I know Hell exists. It exists right here on earth if you are alcoholic and make the mistake of taking that first drink.

Why was he given so many chances? Good Lord.

He made a lot of money from his books. Those with good lawyers can "buy" a lot of chances.

We long ago reached the point in this country where there are two legal systems, one for those with money and another for those without.

Agreed!
