I was in the Roman Collosseum in May and wondering about the history of the place, where this kind of spectacle, involving the slaughter of both humans and animals, was greeted with wild cheers by the local population at the time.

Romans would likely have a different view today.

As far as civilization is concerned, the Chinese might have 2000 or more years of catching up to do.

Then again, I could turn around and wonder why I didn't find enjoyment and laughter in watching my two dogs rip that gopher in half right in front of me two summers ago.
