@ Janitor --> "Are you talking about me here? You better clarify that immediately."

To be fair, I don't know you, so I don't really know if that generalization applies, but maybe a checklist à la DSM-IV would be helpful. Check all that apply:

( ) Sometimes I feel as though this City just wouldn't be the same without our "pro" football team.

( ) No amount of my neighbours' money is too much to give to Bob Young.

( ) When I see the locked out Stelco employees, I feel bad. When I think of Bob Young, Scott Mitchell, or Jason Farr losing their jobs, I feel worse.

( ) I think my children will realize more benefits from following a losing sports franchise playing in a frivolous, publicly funded stadium than the concrete benefits of safe, running tap-water, maintained streets, and the safe disposal of tonnes of toxic waste at old industrial sites.

( ) Those who question the wisdom of the Almighty Ti-Cats' business "needs", including the wisdom of giving them a free stadium and then handing them all the revenue earners (naming rights, parking, concessions, etc.) are unpatriotic and should be shipped off to Siberia to count trees.

If you agreed with two or more of these statements, then yes, I'd guess you're misplacing your emotional energy, and need a reality check.
