Congratulations to the great Barcelona team in the way they disposed of the world champions Manchester Utd, thereby earning them the title of European Champions besides being Spanish League Champions and President’s Cup Winners. How many millions of euros rolled in!

We sports enthusiasts know what super exorbitant sums of money football stars earn their week and how many more are earned as bonuses for honors won!

If every over paid sports star disappeared overnight, it would have no effect on the well being of the country.

But if every doctor, nurse, teacher or police officer disappeared, the effect would be devastating.

When are we going to get our values into perspective?!
