Personal corruption in America - bring back Satan and Hell fire !

Pitino booted from coaching at Louisville? What's going on here?

I will get around to browsing Rick Pitino's book on success . When I was a very young kid I read a number of these books on the topic of achieving the sacred goal of philistine SUCCESS in the competitive ALL AMERICAN RAT RACE. The Zeitgeist and " 1968 " stirred me more in the direction of that Beat Generation ( " Howl " by Ginsberg was inspiring ). 

There is so much personal corruption in the USA today that even a moderate Marxist might long for Satan and Hell Fire to be back by popular demand. 

We need an American Juvenal . The Roman writer was famous for his bitter satires on life in ancient Rome. One can indeed reflect " On the Vanity of Human Wishes " ." American Satires " can begin with professional sports and the recent scolding of THE DONALD , formerly of REALITY TV , now president of the United States. 

Did Pitino say somewhere that CHARACTER builds success ? Well the Roman Seneca also taught me to forgive human hypocrisy. But did any of his wisdom rub off on the young Nero ?
