    I have no competition........

    It's not part of my reality, for I do not believe "competition" is anything to strive for or be positive about.

    Websters defines competition as:
    1) a competing: rivalry, esp. in business. 2) a contest :match

    No one "matches" me, just as no one "matches" you. We are all individuals. Why these stoic games of professional sports, still interest people is beyond me. This is especially true, when those think it through.......there is only so much "money" in the world....do you really think it's appropriate to pay those that throw/kick a football, baseball, basketball, etc. an excess of a million dollars a year? What do these professional athletes even actors, really contribut to your life? While most of us are struggling to raise our kids, keep a roof over our head, etc. LMFAO! When you support this activity (going to games, etc) you are paying for their million dollar salary. When you do that you're denying the equitable distribution of funds to our teachers, law enforcement, paramedics, fire fighters, social workers etc. Sure, you can say these are our governmental agencies. But isn't this a democratic governmnent? If we refuse to buy into these mindless "sport" activities as spectators, perhaps the ball will then be swayed where it is needed and appreciated the most, i.e. our young, safety, etc. It takes a ripple effect of change to bring down even the most stable of sand castles.

    Any thoughts? "buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks".............for many cannot even afford them with the price of the tickets to such events.

    Competetion is such a waste. We spend millions of dollars a year in keeping this illness alive (through organized sports, Olympics etc. all in the quest for "greatness"), LMFAO! while our schools are laying off teachers even today.

    Tha antithesis of "competetion" is "unity".....IMO, it's time this whole planet recognizes that as its only salvation. If it doesn't I'll be happy to see it end......for the human ego through competetion, is so unjust that it once again places "humans" in the "dark age".......where it was necessary to survive. Today, it is the exact opposite, most likely our demise.
