    Maybe what I have to say here belongs in another net.xxx, but these plugs
for humanity/humankind/... warrant it.  Even sports fans need to hear this,
especially at a time when all good on earth seems attainable, such as after an
Olympic Games.  The best that is human is/was/still is/can only be Jesus
Christ.  He, when He came down and took the form of a man, was the only one to
achieve perfection, something we humans will never attain on earth. 
Philosophies of 'great' humans will never equal His teachings.  So many search
for more to this life, while refusing to consider Christ.  People look for
'heaven on earth', when heaven is so attainable through only Him. 

    Like one of our great philosophers, Yogi Berra, once said:  "You can look
it up..."
