In Response To: OT sickening officiating (Bob Koca)

Who all are involved in "professional" wrestling?

Seriously, Bob, it all depends on one's perspective on life.

Some are cynics, some are believers.

Many buy into various religions, too varying depths of devotion. Those of one religion may think any other religion is illegitimate and/or sacrilegious. Many others think all religions are scams, responsible for many of the ills of the world. And those cynics think everyone from Jesus, to Mohamed, to the Pope, to every believer is in on the scam. Those cynics further believe the 'supporting literature' -- the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc. -- is just more of the scam. Who's right? I don't know. I doubt that anyone does.

However, I have come to believe that any human endeavor -- sports, business, politics, religion, you name it -- involving huge amounts of money and/or power certainly presents the opportunity, and I would say the likelihood, of manipulation, chicanery, and, even, foul play. I could note accepted examples for the remainder of the day, and could further note possible examples for days thereafter. Are you to argue?

Thus, I am a cynic. And, apparently, you are not. Is either of us right? Completely right? I doubt it. However, I also doubt that either of us is completely wrong.

Now, let's get back to backgammon -- something really important.
