I played sports in Maine growing up. Moved out west as a young adult and was shocked how far more advanced Football, Basketball and Baseball was outside of New England. My Grandson plays HS football at a 5A school. He has a year round personal trainer that is also a position coach. He is at the gym at 6 am five days a week and goes after school three afternoons a week during offseason. Half of his team mates are either talking to colleges already or already offered scholarships in their junior year. Most all of the starters in Hs here have year round personal trainers and position coaches and many also have nutritionists giving their parents recipes. Then summer comes and most of his team mates go to 2-3 colleges summer football camps and many are "invited" for free. They serves as kind of a "tryout" for colleges to see if they want to offer you a scholarship. This summer my grandson is going to the Boise State, University of Oregon and University of Washington HS football camps. If you don't do that for your kid, odds are he/she wont get playing time at one of the good public High schools or simply transfer across town to the school that doesn't win many games. PAC12, Big 12 and even SEC assistant coaches and scouts are at many of the games. Its a different world outside of Maine.

Man, it was just a joke.

The whole world needs to have a twenty year orgy till we are all the same. Sex in the streets.

Earth has always been changing. We may not like it but the earth doesn't give a shet and just keeps on spinning. Life is an absolute miracle. Look at space and how enormous and dark, cold and dead it is. This little rock that we live on has, for a short amount of time provided perfect conditions for life to be possible. But that short time is coming to an end. We are a horribly destructive species that consumes so much and our numbers are multiplying so fast, we really were doomed from the start. And the earth will keep on just a spinning, long after we are all gone and the sun runs out of hydrogen, the earth is scorched and it's oceans boiled away and there will be no trace of us ever even being here. And the earth will still keep on spinning.
