"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Bread & Circuses
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Mon, 2016-03-21 01:00
"As we are fully immersed in this current electoral cycle, whether we would like to be or not, I thought some reflection on just how utterly absurd the whole “democratic” process has become was appropriate. What we are witnessing is the Roman equivalent of Bread & Circuses. To distract, mollify and pacify the American citizenry. The aim is to keep the populace from full-scale revolt. Overthrowing the entire corrupt political establishment, with all their attendant taxes and privileges that bleed the rest of society dry."
