Well, yes it is easy for you to say but you don't know me. I've been in 
tough situations and told the truth rather than lying to appease. It would

have been easier in the long run to lie. No one would have known. This, of

course, did not happen in the wide pubic eye like Bonds faced but in my 
community it was a pretty big deal.

Of course. But each of us faces challenges. Bonds faced his and apparently

failed. Does that make him a worthless human being? Nope. But I'm not
going 
to defend it or say it is okay because he can hit. Life isn't fair. Had he

told the truth, he'd be playing today. Had Nixon not covered up, he'd
never 
had to resign, even though he didn't give the order for the break-in.

The cover-up is almost always worse than the crime in the public eye.
