THE BIG GAME

It's going to be hard to ignore the ever increasing bullshit volume this year.. it is after all an election year.

I guess all years are election years or some sorts, but this one is the Super Bowl of elections, every four years whether you want to or not.

I use the Super Bowl analogy for a very specific reason.. because the Super Bowl is a very American thing and only Americans are this way about the big elections.

We also tend to treat it very much as a "my team won" or "your team lost" kind of thing. It's not about bragging rights or being "on the winning team" this shit is much more important that that and we are so caught up in it they it seems like few people see that.

What is best for the majority may not be whats best for me. If I am always supporting the team thats best for me and "I lose" in the bigger picture we all won. And the longer we continue to view this shit as a game for bragging rights and pushing agendas that benefit only us directly, then we are all going to continue to lose and every time we do this the stakes get bigger and bigger.
