About

Propaganda can be so beguiling. As it is with football, the opiate of the masses. Does it disturb you in any way the irrationality of being so devoted to a game that involves people chasing each other and a synthetic sphere around a field? It is a sideshow, the great game that is planted in the faces of the confused masses so that they accept their slavery, in the great machine that works for the super elite of the planet. You have been fooled, and you most likely will not admit it, or like the fact that you have. And yes, I am a hypocrite. I love this game.

    I could have edited? You have to be an editor to edit. You should have proofread your article. I clearly wasn't the first to make such a comment.

    Nice to see you back around again mate. By the way, what you've written in the 'About' section of your profile, spot on; I've always thought the same. Nonetheless, football brings that escapism we need in life, right?
