George, you find strength in whatever you need to. Coffee, you quoted "And God makes everyone pale in comparison! Bow before my Higher Power!" Doesn't God teach us to love one another and to reach out to our fellow brothers/sisters instead of bashing him over the head for two mistakes and a passion for something which could easily be porn or something as such. I would suggest that George maybe over the top, but who am I too judge him for his passion. I could only hope that others on this board would take that energy and put forth the effort to be the best they can be. my two cents...half price till Noon. Jason |

The OP went from a depressed, probably out of shape, mopey person to a guy who races and has 7 bikes. That's great! Is having "LIVESTRONG" tattooed on your leg somehow dumb while all the other stuff you see in tattoos, not? Give the guy a break! Lance is a good old fashioned role model and those are rare these days.

First let me begin by saying that I do respect Lance's accomplishments. He has set some records that will stand for atleast 7 more years at a minimum and probably alot longer than that. But do not sell his team short here. Do you think that if Lance were a member of the last place team for those 7 years that he would have accomplished what he has?
As far as Lance being a savior and idolizing him. Koffee had it right. Everyone pails in comparison to God. Christ is my Savior. After all he gave his own life for my salvation. And while God does teach us to love one another he also commands us to have no other 'gods' before him. And and "old fashioned role model". I am sorry but any man who can leave his wife after she has stuck by his side during the most trying time of his life, is not someone I can look up to. And is definately not old fashioned. Again I respect his accomplishments and he could kill me in any bike race. But I do not feel that he is deserving of anymore than that. |

Koffee Permanent is how it is spelled. |

But who cares? I'm not going to be petty and pick apart something someone says if they didn't ask for it, but if someone asks for advice, I'll give it. My grammar and spelling isn't exactly at issue, dood. Koffee |

Giorgios that letter reads a-ok to me, depression is a nasty monster and if that fellow with the racing gave you the jumpstart you needed then it's perfectly acceptable to express gratitude even to your unknowing benefactors.
