I dont believe in curses. I believe in fate. I believe in the yin and the yang. I believe that for every action ther's an equal and opposite reaction. For example, for every hitler there's a gahndi. For every rainy day, there's a sunny one. For every winning baseball club, there's gotta be a loser. Just so happens it's always our team. No curses, no hexes, just fate, and there's nothing we can do about it. Gandhi was an a-hole Maybe, maybe not, but I think you get my overall point. So, for no particular reason, the Cubs are just the BAD team every single year? That's called a curse. Karma may have created the curse, but it's still exactly like a curse. Whatever you call it, you are admitting something intangible is at work behind the Cubs being so Cubs.
