Players From That Age

Modern sports fans are always saying that athletes from the Golden Age of Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey and various other sports could cut it now and they are right. Today'athletics are stronger and faster, but I can always count on Bob Gibson on the Cards or Gale Sayers or Dick Butkus and many others could have flourish in the 21st century and further argue that few modern players could have competed in the 50s, 60s, or 70s when competitors are seriously injured by rivals. I have come to hate the present rough plat of sports, but then I guess I'm getting soft in my old age. Not.

TV Terror

When I was young, my father called the TV the 'boob tube'. He felt that the programming made us idiots.

He was right.

I loved THE THREE STOOGES.

Later my father railed against the senseless violence on the TV.

"Only will breed violence."

He was right again.

This country is full of violence, but some of it isn't senseless.

It makes us do what 'they want us to do.

In fear of violence.
