I got over it shortly after I noticed that pro wrasslin' was show
business and not a sport. It had something to do with puberty or at
least coincided with it. And reading statements from people in other
parts of the world that each extolled their country as being the
greatest. It made me wonder if I could be wrong about that, too. I
did cling to my belief that pro boxing was a real sport until they
bounced Ali out for exercising his freedom of speech. Strange how
they've never bounced out Mike Tyson. This _is_ circular rambling, I
know, but may it's got a point at the poles?
