Mar. 4, 2005 What happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas. The mayor of Sin City uttered a statement so stupid that it has circulated all over the world. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman confided in elementary school kiddies that drinking was one of his favorite hobbies and that the one thing he would want if stranded on an island is a bottle of booze. "I answered the question honestly and truthfully," Goodman protested. "I'm not going to lie to children. I'm not going to say I would take a teddy bear or a Bible or something like that." You don't have to lie to children, but by the same token there are some things it's best not to tell them. If elementary school students ask me what my dreams are, I will tell them about my dream of winning a Pulitzer Prize, but I won't mention my fantasy of having a menage-a-trois. When a reporter inquired if he had a drinking problem, Goodman answered, "Oh, absolutely not. I love to drink." Goodman may or may not have a drinking problem, but he does has a problem thinking clearly. No sane or sober adult would tell elementary school kids that his hobby is drinking. Goodman did not say whether or not he had indulged in his favorite hobby before speaking to the kids. Until Goodman undergoes a 12-step program to deal with his hobby, he should not be allowed anywhere near a school. ------------ About the author: Robert Paul Reyes is a columnist for the Lynchburg Ledger.
