Roman Bread and Circuses

THE ANCIENT ROMAN EMPERORS KNEW THEY COULD DISTRACT THE PEOPLE FROM THE ABUSES OF THE RULING ELITE, BY FILLING THEIR BELLIES AND PROVIDING THE GAMES OF THE CIRCUS.  THE PEOPLE FELL INTO THIS VELVET LINED TRAP AS THEIR FREEDOMS WERE SLOWLY SUCKED AWAY BY THOSE IN POWER AND FORGOT WHAT JOY AND SATISFACTION COULD BE HAD IN ENJOYING THE "FRUITS OF YOUR OWN LABOR".  TODAY WE ARE MOVING TOWARD THAT ROMAN STATE.  THAT STATE THAT EXISTED NEAR THE END OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE BEFORE THEIR FALL.  WHEN MEN, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, FORGET THE PRIDE THEY CAN HAVE FROM A JOB WELL DONE AND FORGET HOW MUCH BETTER THE TASTE OF FOOD THEY HAVE GROWN IS, AS OPPOSED TO THAT OF THE HAND OUT;  THEN AT THAT TIME THEY HAVE CEASED TO BE MEN AND LIKE CATTLE WILL EVENTUALLY BE LEAD TO THE SLAUGHTER AT SUCH A TIME THEIR MASTER SEES FIT.
