But, if we go by god made him win the race... That is cheating, and unfair, he was clearly not as good as the others, the person who came second deserved the gold.... Not the person at the back. Now the person who should have won will be filled with doubt and sadness instead, he hasn't eliminated that factor. Are we not meant to be seen as equals? This was without doubt a show of favourtisim...

...and the winner of the race, with new found confidence goes on to join the military (but not just any branch), the life saving branch, and then goes on to make it a carreer, and in doing so, personally saves hundreds of lives, but collectively helps to save thousands upon thousands of lives, rebuild schools and town halls, churches, assist new democracies with their fledging life saving services (something they never conceived of before), stop hundreds of thousands of kilos of drugs from getting to Europe or the US, raised kids who grew up winners and contributors to society and volunteers for the needy...

...all because God granted one race to one doubting runner, and whispered "I can help you anywhere, anytime, just look to me, and give me credit."

Been running winning races and giving credit where credit is due ever since...

And if those like me weren't there...how much more "dope" would be in the streets? I make no apologies for stopping drugs (or attempting to). I'd man the new machine guns in US Coast Guard helicopters (which have never been for the past 50 years), in order to stop this crap.

Wait until you see the new Berthol class Cutter (comissioned), with it's two over the horizon fast boats, with 50 cal machine guns...capacity for two armed Coast Guard helicopters...105 MM cannon 20 mm guns, and MK 49 launchers...

Uncle Sam is playing for keeps here. We used to be life savers. Now we are Coast Guardsmen...sad state of affairs.

I meant, you can see how I doubt your story of the race, when comparing it to soo many other things that need's attending to.
