**As vital as the bread and the oil for keeping the people happy, were the numerous and frequent circuses scattered all over the city, where gladiators fought wild beasts and each other. This free entertainment, too, was provided by the Emperor. In the modern welfare state, the equivalent of the gladiators are professional football players and athletes, and the equivalent of the circuses are mainly provided by the television networks out of the advertising revenue they attract. Like in ancient Rome, so in our modern civilisation, it is ultimately the final producers of all goods who provide both the bread and the circuses. They do so both for themselves and for those who do not produce.**
and we all know what happened to rome, if its happening in austrailia, it will happen in america, and maybe britain, if they all do it, it will be a decline of massive proportions, end of the world as we know it, everyone takes no one gives. (apart from us cf and singles)..
