Sorry to say that I was not interested in watching the Super Bowl.

It is corporate money heist. With all the issues of corruption and the lack of transparency? The same people who complain that they pay to high taxes get to write off their losses and then blame the consumer for not buying their high price goods.

I was at a McDonalds today and it cost me almost $15.00 for a Big Mac, a soda(medium) and order of fries (medium, also). It was the only restaurant in the area that I stopped to take my break.

The fact of the matter is that greed is everywhere leaving us behind.

Thankfully, I've never been a sports fan and have never watched even one football game on TV. But for the many who are fans, taking your family or even just yourself to a game (forget about the Super Bowl) has become out of reach. Remember when it didn't used to be this way?
