My World History class has been studying Rome, or more specifically, the similarities between Rome and America, and we're starting to gain some of the same characteristics as pre-destruction Rome. 1. The lack of the things we say we stand for. 2. Violent sports to keep the masses from criticizing the government. 3. A government ruled by the rich, rather than those with good ideas. And that's not all either, there're a lot of similarities. What do the rest of you think?
