I'm passionately devoted to logic and good sense. As such, I'm going to decline any further entreaties on the subject as currently stated. My experience on this forum has taught me that certain positions are presented with a
considerable bias one way or another, nationalistic and otherwise, and there's no point in even discussing them, as they originate from an intractable source (that's usually somewhere in Bavaria).
While I'm proudly a Ferrari fan, you will not find anyone on this forum who has been more critical of their mistakes and of the obvious situations that have caused them. But, make no mistake, it is my fervent desire to see a Ferrari team so dominant that even Schumacher, Brawn and Todt have no choice but to stand in stunned, slack-jawed awe when confronted by the sheer spectacle of two brilliant,
rosso corsa bullets making a mockery of both the record books and commonly held notions of possibility. I want to see drivers from rival teams openly pondering career changes to fields with immeasurably better odds for success, like nuclear physics or time travel. I want the whole world to know the lyrics to
Il Canto degli Italiani because they've been exposed to it like clockwork after the checkered flag drops at the end of
every grand prix.
I recognize that the chances of that happening are about the same as you and I ever agreeing on
anything. But, I will always be comforted by a warm, beating heart that dares to dream rather than one that cowers at the feet of pious self-righteousness.
