I think that many of the values of society are badly skewed.....the wrong people are paid the most money...but then it is what those who wish to watch sportsmen are willing to pay...but ask those people to pay more for the upkeep of their local hospital services and watch them head for the door.

Just as Firefighters and others who do so much more for their comunity and mankind.
It is wrong, but we are governed by market forces and in the case of the NHS....PFI!
My Grandmother was a Nurse, the NHS front line have saved my life, I had a car crash when I was 18, it is a shame we don't live in an ideal world.
Dotti, I have no problem with sports stars/ film stars etc earning huge sums of money, but your right, there are inequalities in this world. Nurses are woefully underpaid and I have nothing but the upmost respect for them. I appologise if my comments offended anyone.
