    Default challenge for the illuminated ... identify this quote !!!

    " “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest [the country - sic] become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

    ^^^ indeed it was Cicero from the year 55 BC ! The country in question was obviously Rome.

    Apparently you don't watch the news. Or shows like Worlds Most Shocking ... and to a lesser degree Cops. Or When Animals Attack!

    No... no... no Colosseum type entertainment happening here - no watching people being attacked by wild animals... wild "chariot" races ending in crashes and mayhem... no war footage.

    Don't even get me started on what you can find on the internet!
