I was a real fan once. Summer of 97 if memory serves correct. It was a glorious time. The weather was perfect, the food tasted better, and the women, well... I'll stop there. Many summers have come and gone since that time, none quite the same. Alas, I will always have my memories of my all too brief time as a real fan.
Y'know, Plato argued that each of us carries a representation of the pure, ideal form of true fan in our psyches and that every fan we encounter, including ourselves, is simply a flawed copy of that perfect template.
But Plato never watched the BOSTON CELTICS play, baby!!!
..I don't know where I'm going with this.
simply bringing plato into a conversation here is enough in and of itself. a tp for you.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
