We do have choice with leagues, though it is a little complicated because of the mass media, etc. Because people want to "socialize", we shun smaller/newer leagues. It is simply because we have these national sports leagues that we can have something to talk about when dealing with people who we may otherwise have nothing in common with. Having no interest in any professional sports, puts a guy at a social disadvantage. On the other side of the coin, the obsession with sports puts the entire country at a political disadvantage. We don't have nearly enough experience at truly understanding other political points of view, and then agreeing to disagree without animosity. Having said that, I would reaffirm that national socialism is legalized theft. State socialism is nearly as bad, but you may move and retain your individual rights in another state. National socialism is totalitarianism. Socialism is only a problem when there is no choice. We do have choice with leagues, though it is a little complicated because of the mass media, etc.

Then when they were openly invited to the summit, I think the phrase, "It's a trap" was used 3,942 times in two days. (And that's just the Fox News commentators.) This party will never win over moderate independents like me, even if I agree with them on many fiscal principles.
