    It's been proven many times that the degree of separation between indifference and hope is most often small enough as to be nearly indistinguishable.

    If indifference/hope, take your pick, is based upon 2 or 3 experiences where expectations, realistic or otherwise, weren't met when there is ample proof that was not always the case is somewhat shortsighted. Shortsightedness is one of the main criteria of a fool. Something regarding if a shoe fits immediately comes to mind.

    It's obvious in this case that a fool is incapable of comprehending the fact that to stop descending deeper into a fools hole the fool first must stop digging!

That could be seen as a proper response, a harsh one, but comprehensible, nonetheless. It's a whole other thing to wish for, and cheer that a racetrack facility should be razed and disposed of because you had the misfortune to attended a racing event that wasn't up to your lofty standards, whatever those are. Anyone who wishes for, and takes satisfaction in seeing a racetrack of any kind, of any form of racing be torn down and done away with isn't really a fan. You may call yourself a race fan but you're not. There's other words to describe those kinds of folks but we'll leave that to everyone's imagination.

        I saw as many entertaining and exciting events at Iowa as I saw bad ones. If the division of cars isn't your particular cup of tea, or if the surface isn't to your liking that is understandable and in the eye of the beholder. But, to say a track isn't worthy of it's own existence because you experienced an event that was not to your liking is rather childish, don't you think?
        People like him like what they like, and don't care about anyone else but themselves.

        Thus the 8 year supply of charmin in his moms basement.
        Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

          Actually it appears you were touched .....by a guy that looks like your president....in a spot that you shouldn't have been.

          Can you point at it on one of your Ken dolls?
