Following blindly

You know, I never was comfortable as one of the "masses".  I just can't go mainstream.  If everyone else seems to be led by the nose like so many cattle on a drive toward a particular opinion or thing, I tend to resist pretty hard.  

Ever notice when the football season starts, or when the Colts play, that all news other than the Colts seems to stop in Indianapolis?  You know there are still Rapes, robberies, murders, and crooked politicians, but you wouldn't know it because all you see on TV is the precious Colts.  The same is true in any "college town".  Lafayette has the precious Purdue Boilermakers.  Forget actual news on TV or the Newspaper half of the time.  The world coming to an end?  Page 2.  Your star Quarterback is hurt? Headlines, and ALL OF PAGE ONE.  Half of the local newscast.  Baa Baa little sheep, follow the talking head...don't think for yourself....follow the talking head.....You love the Colts.  You love the Colts.  Purdue is all that matters.  Boiler Up......follow the pied piper......

Being force fed does not sit well with me.  I resist.  No Colts for me.  I tell anyone who asks that I root for whoever is playing the Colts this weekend.  That brings us to the Saints.  Ah....drew Brees...Purdue alum......Try Living in the Lafayette area... Same problem with Purdue football you have with the Colts .....I don't care who won the Super Bowl that year.   I was sick of hearing about it and ill informed on several other worthy stories by then.

Indianapolis is hosting the 2012 Super Bowl.  We don't even know who's is going to play and already the local media is shoving it down my throat so hard I am choking on it.  By the time it gets here there will be no other news in Indiana.  Baa Baa little sheep...

Shove it.  I don't want to hear one more thing about your precious Colts, your Boilermakers, your stupid-assed Super Bowl.  You took my tax dollars to subsidize this crap and now you want me to follow blindly while you tell the world "all is well" and spout about meaningless, mindless drivel.   Not gonna happen.  I can think for myself.
