Cultural Bleeding

It's as old as people having met one another.

Cultural interchange.

It's what America is all about re E Pluribus Unum-from many one.

Simply put, we are the sum of our experiences and of the backgrounds of folks wherever they come from. Yet America is unique re our Freedom.

Though, bleeding indicates a phenomenon, yes just one, that encompasses the world.

Ever find it funny that baseball is popular in Japan and Cuba, while one, is still a fascist police state and the other a communist dictatorship?

Sports are the great panacea. After all, for those who set up societies that either outright eschew religion or use it as a tool to suppress, healthy physical activity assists the state in keeping the people in check.

If one's mind is off the real matters of the day, then one's mind is placated and each day is sufficient unto itself vis a vis such mundane happenings as who scores and wow 'our' team is going places.

Going places while the Republic is stagnating. Going nowhere.

Still, while mindful of more important details such as the loss we have suffered in Freedom at a great expense re safety, we share cultural traits that become uniquely American.

And that American principle of one from many circles the world. That is what is meant to be.

But baseball etc is not what the world needs.

Hey, it's fine the Indy Colts won btw. It's just too bad that American sports can't 'bleed' into other cultures bringing Freedom and all that we stand for.

And, a note about players comes to mind.

There are all kinds of folks who play ball etc. Like any other pursuit, there are good bad and in between.

Some are Freedom minded and I have met some genuinely decent sportspeople.

All the bs about diversity is like a vapid steam cloud that dissipates into the cold.

Cultural bleeding will bleed us white unless we share that greatest of gifts from our unified culture.

Freedom is the gift that keeps on giving and nothing better exists.
