If It Makes A Buck Sell It.

At the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994, the attention of sports fans, and some who were not were riveted on the clash between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, in the wake of the vicious attack on Kerrigan at the American championships.

 Though Harding denied prior knowledge of the attack she fooled nobody, especially after notes Harding made about Kerrigan's training times and location were found. Now, we have what looks to be, a successful movie, " I Tonya'', about her turbulent life.

 A two hour documentary, ''Truth And Lies, The Tonya Harding Story'', was aired on ABC, on January 11. So now Ms. Harding, who is hardly an Angel of Mercy has become a media Superstar.

This may seem baffling to some, though it should not, because notoriety sells, in fact, it sells big time. 
It is enough to make any decent person puke their guts out, but it's totally consistent with capitalism's value system - "if it makes a buck sell it!''

For socialism,
