Today is Super Bowl Sunday: a celebration of brutality and a national day of drinking. For more than 4 hours, life will stop in America and alcohol will flow. The Arizona Cardinals will face Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Super Bowl is also the picture of the America mind. Force is a way of showing power, the spirit of the country. In this difficult time, excess is not good. But, America deserves a break from all the bad economic news. The Super bowl is certainly a moment to forget the reality. Monday morning the reality will return. As the Ashanti of Ghana say, “When the cock is drunk, he forgets about the hawk.”

Go Cardinals!
