Flashpoint: Reality a bitter pill for free-marketers to swallow
The Indianapolis Colts could reach the goal of winning all their football games if it were not for the annoying interference of referees, rules and regulations, unnecessary markers and arbitrary boundaries, those unfair and confounding limits on the number of players the Colts may put on the field at any given time, etc.
