That's par for the course. Football was banned for a while in England a
few hundred years ago - why? Because of the violence and deaths. The
sport engenders violence like none other.

I always thought the French "revolution" was a kind of precursor of
communism, "What about the poor woikers?" "We're all equal except some of
us are more equal than others."
There is even a French proverb about it which translates as something
like, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." (Plus ca
change, plus ca reste le meme.)
Yours sincerely,
John Davis
