Spectator Sports

   I have always been appalled by American spectator sports; it gives the spectator the right to scream and yell at the participants but has no impact on the outcome of the game unless they don’t attend or engage in violence. I personally have always said about spectator sports “if I can’t for what ever reasons, personally participate in the game I have little interest in it. This is not intended to put down sports in general or the people, who participate in the games or have some financial or otherwise interest in the outcome.
   Only the things or objects in life that are those that have a direct impact on my own life can I find interesting or worthy enough to become engaged. Unlike many people who see life itself as a game, like sexuality, marriage, school, business, employment, raising children, etc., I find them as purposeful pursuits as apposed to just fun and games, which are the only things for the spectator, derived from spectator sports. Just having fun in life gives no one purpose for being. Without purpose, humanity itself is doomed
   American politics is not a spectator sport, unlike every other country on earth. It was purposeful by design that each individual citizen was not too being just spectators of government but active participants. This and only this is what gives America herself purpose for being.
   If you see, as an American; that politics is just a game we are playing, you are no longer a true American you are just a spectator!
