Oh! Spectacular acts of Herculean will.

Unknown heroes going for the ritual kill.

It'll be many weeks before we've had our fill.

Medals galore and never a pill.

I just thank the Lord...

I'm not paying the bill.

How do we keep the people happy? give them bread and give them games. Tom

Hi Tom. Yes, this view is often attributed to Cicero, but in those days food and entertainment were possibly enough to keep people quietly working. These days they probably aren't.

Games, well at least it would pacify the masses a bit, the devil finds work for idle hands Dr Kevin!

But I agree with you spectator sport is of inherently of no pratical concequence, here today, gone tomorrow. Just enterainment value and really a waste of time.

All the best! Tom
