I love sports. As I left my youth and my sports career behind I learned several reasons why I loved playing sports. Simple – they had rules. Each sport had a place where the game ended. Football and basketball had time limits. Tennis had a number of sets, games and points to earn a victory. The best is baseball. No time limit, you keep going until you have more runs than the other.
The number one killer of Americans is cardiac related. The number of people in the country divided by the number of people who die from cardiac disease is the rate. The 360 million people divided by the number of cardiac deaths is the rate.
One could limit the parameters and say everyone over 40 with a single cardiac indicator. This would lower the rate.
The number of people who died before their expected life statistics and who knew or got in the path of the Clintons has a rate. With these limiting parameters the rate of deaths related to the Clintons surely puts this category in the top ten killers of Americans.
Rules, time limits, rates are leading to my next question. I neglected to add that in sports the competitors tend to be civil, even in defeat. They followed the rules and hopefully gave their best. They shook hands or congratulated the person who bested them. They did not kill them.
My question is really simple. When is the game over?
You know what I mean. Somehow let me know what inning, what set, what quarter, what period and give me a tally .
