I’d be happier if they’d bring back dueling, especially on the floor of Congress.

If May Day parading Communists are for it, I’m against it.
And we’ve had chariot racing at the Houston Rodeo for years.

I remember reading an article with photos of chariot racing in America back in the 1950’s or 60’s.
They made the chariots out of 55 gallon drums, and they used air filled rubber tires from cars or trucks or something.
The Charioteer of Delphi, also known as Heniokhos (the rein-holder), is one of the best-known statues surviving from Ancient Greece, and is considered one of the finest examples of ancient bronze statues. The life-size statue of a chariot driver was found in 1896 at the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi, and is now in the Delphi Archaeological Museum.

Chuckwagons may have been invented to provide food for cowboys out on the range, but at the Calgary Stampede, 36 chucks and their crews turn out with nary a pancake on their minds. The
Chuckwagon Races are the wildest and most popular event at Stampede. In heats of four teams each, the crews barrel around the track in nail-biting competition every night for ten days. The winner of the final 'sudden death' heat takes home a check for CDN$50,000.

Actually, I’d be a lot happier if we brought back something else from Rome - the goal of utterly defeating our enemies, and salting the Earth when we do it. You’d have lots less wars if we did that a couple of times. Oh, and the salting process can be speeded up quite a bit by substituting uranium salts for common table salt.

Never mind the chariots, bring back the cheetahs! A little known fact - cheetahs are native to the American plains and later migrated to Africa and other places over the Bering bridge. Cheetahs are very seriously endangered in Africa, time to bring them home. Bring back the cheetahs and pronghorns to feed them!
