Lately I’ve been reflecting upon the Roman age of the gladiators and the unfortunate parallels now playing out in our society. Have we not evolved from our ancestors whose bloodsport sent many to their deaths? The similarities are eerily distasteful. In Roman times, spectators filled coliseums to cheer on those who fought to the death. […]
