I was
watching the “pre-game” show leading up to the Super bowl. And that, logically,
lead me to thinking about the Romans. A few
thousand years ago we were herded into a stadium to watch the current sporting
event (s). Now we call this a “harsh” time. But in that then it was as modern as the
(then) drachmas could buy. Today we
spend the current monies and are herded into a stadium to watch violence. These
efforts are also broadcast to an infinite number of people. And to pay for all
this transmitting they are intertwined with scenes that are meant to help you buy
this product or that service. Everyone wins in this effort. You get to see
violence and they get your time to sell you something. TMORROW it
will be the same. But in a thousand years you will no longer need TV’s. You will
seek out a place to safely close your eyes. With just a thought you will turn
on your DNA implanted receiver. After you have approved the correct amount transferred
your mind will be flooded with the images of some violence. It will, of course,
all be robots who have been approved by their union but it will be violent with
many of the robots being dis-membered. Three days later your mind will awake and begin to think about the next game to experience. Of course complete with commercials announced by the sex of your choice.

Oh and the only reason the gladiators didn’t have numbers on
their shirts is because all those pesky Roman numerals wouldn’t fit.
