Unfortunately for the young Mr. Arthur Leopold, the world is NOT a sports game, and it's NOT determined by whoever wins. Our culture since the end of WW II impels people to think in sports terms, which reflects the banality of today's culture, to the detriment of thinking more profoundly of the fact that our republic is being destroyed, as I write, by London-centered finance. I would hope Mr. Obama joins Mrs. Clinton in addressing the real day-to-day life-and-death questions facing the population in the LOWER 80% income brackets. Instead Mr. Obama's representative repeats the culturally deficient metaphor of a sports contest -- the "bread-and-circuses" actuality that occupied the people of the Roman Empire comparison with our populace of today, being apparently lost to his and the readers' purview.
