Champions Of The World
10 July 06 Inclusion
The Kenyans make mincemeat pie of American distance runners in the Boston Marathon. And in the World Cup of Soccer anybody can put away USA---even Ghana. This is good. It extends our horizons beyond the imperial shield of the mendacious red white & blue. On cable t.v. one occasionally hears the moronic ranting of the beer-belching braggarts from USA who have yet to attain a World View of human achievement. So it felt good yesterday to watch a Swiss genius defeat a Spaniard at Wimbleton with nary an American in sight. And France versus Italy for The World Cup in Soccer. Americans are best at violent sports that involve no coordination such as wars that require merely the pushing of buttons & the releasing of bombs & poison. This is the America being advertised 24-7 from Washington D.C. & being spouted by idiots like Chris Mathews & Limbaugh. America lost its purity somewhere back there in Salem, Massachusetts & in Philadelphia. And it never recovered its will for Innocence. Instead it papered itself over with cheap Bible salesmen who spew the ugliest pieces of Scripture they can find & try to cover evil with evil words---and then after that the Wall Street hucksters who measure success in terms of moolah. How to dissolve the bombs & bullets---all of them---this is the human endeavor & the only one worth achieving.
