    1. Why is it that someone can be suspended by the NFL for doing drugs when those drugs may be less severe then the pain killers and performance medication that the team doctors prescribe.
    2. Why is it that the NFL gives an IQ test to players for a sport that may damage their brain.
    3. Why is it that eveyones religion is right and everyones else is stupid or worse.
    4. Why is it that people who do not believe in anything make it a point to attact those who do.
    5. Why is it that those who attack religion as a control when in power kill as many people possible to have absolute power.
    6. Why is it that everytime I put on the news I either hear gossip, weather, an animal story, something tied into sex or people yelling at each other or just the tv camera.
    7. Why do republicans and democrats actually thing that their party's establishment is actually different from each other.
    8. Why is it that people building a fish tank, give out parking tickers, or tow away cars is actually tv programing.
    9. Why is it that I feel the worlds power elite is like the NFL and is trying to make us all brain dead.

    10. Why do I have an uncontrollable urge to go clean out my garage every time I see an episode of Hoarders on tv?

    1. Why is it that someone can be suspended by the NFL for doing drugs when those drugs may be less severe then the pain killers and performance medication that the team doctors prescribe.
    Because the NFL is all about equity. Like handicappers in a horse race, whose ideal it would be for all horses to cross the finish line at the same time, the NFL wants every team to have an equal chance to win every game, at least as far as "chance" is under their control.
    2. Why is it that the NFL gives an IQ test to players for a sport that may damage their brain.
    Two parts to this one: a) most of the players who get IQ tests are in leadership positions, like quarterbacks. The Wonderlic test is more than "just" indicative of intelligence, however. Me, I prefer looking at combine scores and game film. b) They need a baseline. I think they feel that if the players' brains slosh around in their heads a bit more than they hope, they'll have something to help them figure out how bad the damage is. Interesting trivia . . . the 20-pound "shock absorber" helmet they wear today actually protects the players *less* than those worn by Joe Namath and his contemporaries.
    3. Why is it that eveyones religion is right and everyones else is stupid or worse.
    Because everyone knows that the religions that came after the Orthodox Christians/Catholics were just dissenting pretenders who were seriously misguided. Those Eastern faiths that predate Christianity? They're just heathens who "don't count." (Please tell me you know that I'm just kidding, right?)
    4. Why is it that people who do not believe in anything make it a point to attact those who do.
    Because it's stupid and wrong-headed to believe in anything that might have relevance outside our heads. After all, believing in something means taking responsibility for your actions and using guidelines other than, "if it feels good and doesn't hurt someone, it must be okay."
    5. Why is it that those who attack religion as a control when in power kill as many people possible to have absolute power.
    Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And you can quote me on that.
    6. Why is it that everytime I put on the news I either hear gossip, weather, an animal story, something tied into sex or people yelling at each other or just the tv camera.
    Because you watch the wrong channels. There is always the Food Network. Oh, and channel 31 has Supernatural, which is about angels, demons, and two monster-hunting brothers. Good times.
    7. Why do republicans and democrats actually thing that their party's establishment is actually different from each other.
    Ever watch "The Wizard of Oz?" It was the Scarecrow, the one whose head was stuffed with straw, who became the politician. We are more like OZ than we know.
    8. Why is it that people building a fish tank, give out parking tickers, or tow away cars is actually tv programing.
    Because we can only watch so many "real" housewives and the South is running out of population to exploit?
    9. Why is it that I feel the worlds power elite is like the NFL and is trying to make us all brain dead.
    Because the Left, no matter what the country, believes in equity
    The above post was sent to me and I thought I would share it with whomever would be interested in such.

    Ok. I know you are just kidding.

    Ok.

    The original post was awfully reminiscent of Andy Rooney, ...Andy.;) ...Oh, and Jerry Seinfelt too, in a superficial way.
