What's Going On?   
    
   People speak in lies. They don't argue their points with integrity.

   They rely on empty arguments and conceive trouble. Truth goes missing, and there is no room for honesty.

   In such a world, there is little opportunity for justice.

   Are these observations from the impeachment drama? No, they are found in Isaiah chapter 59, written 700 years before Christ. So much for human nature improving itself.

An Alternative Super Bowl
   Which is more violent, a game between the 49ers and Chiefs, or one between the Norsemen and Barbarians?  

   If you guessed the latter, guess again.

   Sunday night, after a week of partying in Miami and tons of money spent on promotions, tickets, hotels, entertainment and such, the NFL will cap all the hype with its 54th Super Bowl. Players and many others associated with the event will be richer for it. 

   Monday morning, hungover TV fans won't be the only folks with headaches. Some of the players may be nursing head or neck injuries; life-long problems are somewhat common. It's part of the game.

   We wonder if millions of football fans could ever transition to rugby. There are club teams, and there is Major League Rugby, 12 teams in the U.S. and Canada, seen on CBS from February through the final game in June. Rugby gained Olympic status in 2016. 

    Rugby players don't wear pads, yet are safer. They tackle with their shoulders rather than head first. Players don't want to injure themselves. Certain rules also protect them.

   One doctor sees more broken fingers than anything, as players get stepped on. But no helmets, and no concussions. Maybe we'll check it out.
