I have an good Idea . How about bring back the old Roman style gladiator games? I personaly would like to see a simluar event like they had in ancient Rome. I also bet tens of millions of people would like to see it as well. I mean it would generate alot of money for the new found nation and make our homeland a tourist attraction as well. Its a win win situation for us.
Strange notion that. Isn't that kind of taking a step forward by taking two back?
Besides there are gladiator games out in the world, these are called "sports" and usually have a huge following of "fans" supports of the multi-billion dollar industry complete with coliseums, favorite gladiators and enough blood to appease the most barbaric, er I mean civilized of people.
Mind I like sports, I loved playing football (before I wrecked both knees a few years ago) I loved playing baseball and other sports. I did not and still do not fathom the interest in other people playing the sport.
It is odd to me that teachers, those endowed with the potential to safeguard or destroy our future as a society and species are paid so little while men and women who play games are generously rewarded with millions of dollars.
But then we are talking about a society that applauds and cheers while to men beat the crap out of each other in a ring, and get violent and all upset when two men kiss on the street.
