1776, Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations: Hunting and fishing, the most important employments of mankind in the rude state of society, become in its advanced state their most agreeable amusements, and they pursue for pleasure what they once followed from necessity. In the advanced state of society, therefore, they are all very poor people who follow as a trade what other people pursue as a pastime.

The Great American Pastime
The Great American Pastime — Formerly Baseball — but now Gun violence must be Great American Pastime because it’s played almost daily, and especially on weekends — adding a new shade of meaning to the term “weekend warrior”. It is not limited by seasons like baseball, soccer, hockey, football, basketball, or lacrosse; and is one ot the only pastimes that can be easily played year round!
Even children can play; it can be played anywhere; and there are no difficult rules to learn. No other country in the world plays this game as good as Americans! And we love this pastime so much that it has spontaneously erupted in grocery stores, places of worship, homes, and schools. In fact so little equipment is required for this pastime that it is no exaggeration to say that you never know when people are going to start playing. No body actually yells “SLAP LEATHER” like in the movies.
And you can only lose this game once.
Lock an load America; and, let’s all play!
