- js8 11y agoI don't see anything wrong with bread and circuses (although I think I prefer pork and porn ;-)). This actually reminds me of Chomsky, who said that if people are really allowed to vote, they might decide to spend more on education and universal health care, rather than on nuclear weapons. Oh, the horrors!
