  • I'm a fan of football. Having grown up watching and playing it, I see no time in the future where I won't be watching it. It's an "always have, always will" sort of thing. 

But there are some things I could totally do without: see how many you agree or disagree with! I’m sure there’s other stuff I haven’t listed here, but those are the major ones.

  • Indeed, it's a huge load of baloney.  If you watch the news to any degree, you've been hearing this hokum for some time.  Yeah, it's actually several degrees worse than mere baloney, but I'll restrict it to that.

  • Yup, that's a provacative title, but I can't think of any other explanation aside from abject ignorance. Basically, it boils down to three matters that, while interrelated, are still discernable and worth putting forward.  This is my mile-long post for the year, so hold on to your hats.
