Bread And Circuses

with Brian Brawdy - Episode 122



 

Where is our ultimacy? What is it that we revere so much that we get upset over it? If we had to be honest, we're pretty much like the ancient Romans. We have a collapsing financial system, unemployment at a real rate of over 14%, energy prices which are skyrocketing, and a federal government that is taking away more and more of our freedoms. But what gets us upset?

A football game... NFL refs and their union... so much so that miles away and overseas, it's the talk of a country. We're like the ancient Romans and the Coliseum--take away our jobs, curtail our freedoms, make us live in the dark, and ration our food.

But don't take away our games or our entertainment. Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living. We need to stop our headlong rush toward disaster and decide who we are as a nation and where we're going before it's too late.
