re: Is saying "we" permissible?

It's all just a person's opinion. We all think we are right about things. If we didn't we'd spiral into depression since we'd be walking around with our heads down thinking, "I'm worthless because I'm wrong about things".

It's human nature for people to gravitate towards sucess such as Michael Jordan, Notre Dame, Bama, Arnold Palmer, Pele, Gretzky etc. Very few people want to get excited and cheer for a team that loses, it's frankly no fun.

So, fans of teams with little or limited sucess will naturally have a fan base composed of a much higher percentage of haughty alumni who look down on sidewalk fans.
