For one thing because...it offers people something to pay attention to that's of no importance...That keeps them from worrying about...things that matter to their lives that they might have some idea of doing something about....<BR/>You know, I remember in high school...I...asked myself...why do I care if my high school team wins the football game? ....I mean, why I am cheering for my team? It doesn't mean any -- it doesn't make sense. But the point is, it does make sense: it's a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority, and group cohesion behind leadership elements -- in fact, it's training in irrational jingoism. That's also a feature of competitive sports. I think if you look closely at these things, I think, typically, they do have functions, and that's why energy is devoted to supporting them and creating a basis for them and advertisers are willing to pay for them and so on. <BR/>Two-Noam Chomsky is a douche.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473240679057335490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18329827.post-1133190459416293392005-11-28T09:07:00.000-06:002005-11-28T09:07:00.000-06:00Cheer, cheer for Old Notre DameWake up the echoes ...Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame<BR/>Wake up the echoes cheering her name,<BR/>Send the volley cheer on high,<BR/>Shake down the thunder from the sky,<BR/>What tho the odds be great or small<BR/>Old Notre Dame will win over all,<BR/>While her loyal sons are marching Onward to Victory.<BR/><BR/>Whoo-hoo!!Amanda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06181875375330173665noreply@blogger.com
