USA Today hates golf

[Shindig]

Part of me wishes I subscribed to USA Today so I could cancel my subscription over this. But not even my parents, who actually subscribe to and read two physical newspapers , don't subscribe to it.

It's symbolic. I'm not expecting any major national turnarounds as long as good people keep deluding themselves that chasing a little white ball is something as grand as hunting a great white whale. Our national denials will take us down as surely as Moby Dick drowned Captain Ahab. Who looks for terrorists, crooked politicians, greedy stock traders on a golf course? Who is trying to reform health care, regulate the markets, clean the air while putting?

As far as i know people kept "deluding" themselves for a couple of centuries - during that time, great things were achieved, great economic as well as political problems taken on and - mostly - solved sucessfully. But blaming a sport for the current situation is an obscure argument.

Generally, in an open discussion his arguments wouldnt stand a chance but since this is his single minded opinion, who cares. You will find many people out there thinking the same way he does - all for very different reasons, but why should i spent more than these couple of sentences to deal with such a guy - it would be utterly worthless.
