IN ANCIENT ROME, THE CENTER OF LIFEs’ entertainment FOR THE MASSES WAS THE BLOODY GLADIATOR ARENA. IN MODERN times THERE TWO SYSTEMS OF GLADIATOR ARENAS. FIRST, THE MODERN FOOTBALL STADIUMS, THE BASKETBALL STADIUMS AND ANY SYSTEM OF ENTERTAINMENT WHERE THERE IS A CENTRAL FOCAL POINT OF ALL THE ACTION VIA A PIT, A HOLE IN THE GROUND. OR THE ILLUSION OF A HOLE IN THE GROUND, LIKE NASCAR RACING, THE SEATING AREA IS ELEVATED AND THUS THE ILLUSION OF A lower, pit ARENA AREA IS CREATED.

IN THE ROMAN ARENAS, DURING THE gladiatorial evENTs, LOAVES OF BREAD WOULD BE THROWN TO THE MASSES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DID NOT LEAVE THE ARENA TO GO HOME FOR A SNACK. THE IDEA WAS TO KEEP THEIR ENTIRE FOCUS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE ARENA.

IN MODERN TIMES, A MASSIVE amount and ASSORTMENT OF JUNK FOOD IS SOLD AT EXHORBITANT PRICES IN ALL SPORTING arenas and events IN ORDER TO KEEP THE FOCUS OF THE MASSES ON THE ARENA FLOOR.

IN ADDITION, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL is SOLD AT THESE SPORTING EVENTS TO REDUCE THE INHIBITIONS OF THE MASSES AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO PARTICIPATE VICARIOULSY IN THE EVENT.

THE SECOND SYSTEM OF GLADIATOR ARENAS IS A PERSONAL ONE. OUR GOOD OLD TELEVISION SET IN OUR LIVING ROOMS, BEDROOMS, KITCHENS, AND BATHROOMS.

AMERICANS LOVE THEIR TELEVISIONS ALMOST AS MUCH AS THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF TV, A TEN OR TWELVE INCH, BLACK AND WHITE SCREEN WAS CONSIDERED ADEQUATE. Now our egocentrism demands the largest possible tv screen that we can fit into out houses, with the latest array of gizmos and gadgets.

As lucifers’ reign wanes and ends, we have seen an increase in bloodsports. The advent of the ultimate fighting championships, ufc, has fulfilled this niche of bloodsports perfectly. All sporting events have become less civil and more violent.

Television programming has become increasingly violent and bloody. One can barely watch a tv show that is not full of murder, rape, kill, pillaging and plundering. Violence is the norm.

Our children are fed a steady diet of violence and deception of reality through special effects.

Yes, indeed, the gladiatorial arena is now brought to our doorstep, we don’t even have to leave our homes anymore.
