Religion

Karl Marx addendum:

Opium of the people

Is Sunday football.

Karl Marx got it right. And had NFL football

existed in 1843 when he wrote the "Critique

of Hegel's Philosophy of Right," he would

certainly have inserted "football" in place

of "religion". The full quote is as follows:

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart

of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

It is the opium of the people.

Well, all of us addicts (I'm including myself

although I don't care for football) better get

ready to experience the DT's (as opposed to

the LT's) because it's over. The Chargers lost

Sunday, perhaps slowing their bid to have a

financially bleeding city help them pay for a

new, unneeded cathedral, I mean stadium,

so they can make more money. Power to

the people.
