Politics

Politics in the US is no longer guided by politicians seeking an honest dialogue of ideas as a means of enlightening us all to the truth - if it ever was - rather, it has become a profession, in and of itself, dominated by political practitioners who use half-truths and lies to incite in us fear and hatred as a means of imposing their opinion on us - in other words, we are now at the mercy of politicians who rule by violence under the guise of defending doctrinal purity.

Baseball

Baseball is an interesting sport. A player who hits the ball at the rate of 3 out of every 10 times at bat will earn a multi-million dollar salary and, upon retirement, be voted into the hall of fame on the first ballot. A manager whose team wins at the rate of 3 out of 10 games will get fired.
