During the decline of the Roman Empire they loved greusome violence against the MOST helpless...
and they loved garish displays of ill-gotten wealth...
and mostly the filthy luxury of pigging out. Occasionally some nutritious attractive food was even consumed. But lots of it was vile and shortened many lives.
And its like that now in many quarters. But OH Puhleeeze don't bother asking me for a "SOURCE". I know what that means.
