Today’s Conclusion
The future’s mockery of people living now will be the more severe because the mocked will have failed to learn the above simple truth about the past. Knowledge is a multiple-edged weapon.
Sunday in Hamilton
The Blue Bombers visited the TigerCats to close Canada Weekend. The Cats picked the BB first play! Red zone, TD for Lawler after a review. The BB managed a FG after 12 minutes. Collards sacked to start Q2, punt.
A FG for the Cats, 3-10. Flagfest with 3 minutes left, the Cats close. Nearly a pick, just a FG, 3-13. A missed FG by the BB gave them a rouge.
Mitchell injured when sacked early in Q3. The Bombers found the end zone, 11-13. Lawler with a TD to start Q4? Incomplete pass. Lotz of defence. A pick stopped the Cats. Too many TC players kept the Bombers going, into the red zone, FG with 22 seconds left, 14-13 final.

The past is the product of the prevailing circumstances, as is the current present, which will be mocked mercilessly by the cultures of the future.
