In the old Roman empire, the Plebeians worshipped the gladiators. American plebeians today worship those fucking celebrities.
Just like the Roman empire, America was founded on slavery. Americans today are still slaves, but what do they know, as long as they are entertained by artists like Doctor Dre.
These goofballs on the subway spend $300.00 on headphones to listen to crap while instead - $300 could be spent buying books like:
1. Creature from Jekyll Island
2. Economics in One lesson - Hazzlit
3. Road to Serfdom Hayek
4. Crash Proof - Schiff
5. End the Fed - Ron Paul
6. copies of the founding documents
And still have a lot of $$$ left over.
