Excellent thoughts/comments. Saddest of all, like you suggested, most of us were probably taught, "cheating doesn't payoff" -- "winners never cheat" -- "crime doesn't pay" and we preach this to our children. Yet here it is right in our face...proving the exact opposite of values we should hold dear. Winners cheat and it pays off great! That's the "value" we're getting out of this and if not dealt with, there will be major consequences on a pure moral level for years to come.
