We were talking about energy consumption, weren't we? Potlatch nation?
(Sort of like no social group is so poor that it cannot afford to
ritually mutilate its people. But that's a different story, I guess.)
I'd be very interested in the Superbowl if I was a part-owner of
one of the clubs, or if my kid was a player, or if I was teaching
a contemporary media course, etc. There are many *good* reasons
to watch the Superbowl.
