I have been saying that for years. It is a fact that the Roman empire had coliseums and theaters to keep the masses amused, Greek word. A means not to do something. used means to think. Translation, keep the people from thinking.

Why? Because 85% of the Roman empire were slaves, and the vast majority of the other 15% had no say so in what would happen. So the Empire kept them from thinking about their miserable existence. It worked for a millennium.
