I was interested and intrigued enough to respond to your post.
In part, you wrote - "Why do you think the AFL, baseball, gridiron, golf, F1 is all the go on TV etc etc - its so that the sheep remain sheep".
Would you please elaborate on your above quote. I ask this as I thoroughly enjoy watching some of the above mentioned sports and whilst not considering myself to be of a superior intelligence to many, I certainly don't consider myself to be covered in wool! :)
