Ambition is great. It brought humanity out of the stone age to the high-tech world of Silicon Valley. Ambition has given humanity penicillin, television, automobiles, fast food, and Lean Cuisines.

Should anyone be subject to a tell-all on television by estranged family members, like This Is Your Life? Martha Stewart’s daughter published a tell-all indicating that Martha goes to the bathroom with the door open. Big, so what?
