Say it isn't so?

Beaufort Books has commissioned an additional 50,000 copies of OJ Simpson’s “If I Did It,” the ghostwritten account of how the ex-football star would have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The book, which came out last week and on Tuesday ranked No. 2 on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, now has 200,000 copies in print.

Are you kidding me? Come on people. Is this what our society values? We can do better than this. Please, if you are looking for something to read, pick up a copy of Band of Sisters. Choose to read about people with substance, values, ... Read about female service members, their sacrifices, their courage, and amazing attitudes. Give credit where credit is due.

Don't reward OJ. He may have been a football hero once but those days are long gone. That person doesn't even exist anymore. Reward the women who are serving bravely beside our brothers-in-arms, women who have made a conscious choice to make America a better place. Read their stories and not OJ's. Celebrate their accomplishments and not OJ's. Stop looking to the past and look at the NOW. Where is he now--in a cell. Where are the women--making the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the safety of our homeland.
