Sugar and spice
By Bill Smiley
(Continued from Page 2)
nice conversation pieces,
Away back there, I failed to continue the
analogy to the Roman Empire. But it's
there. They had their bread and circuses as
the countdown approached. Our arenas,
like theirs, are packed solid with sweaty,
sadistic spectators watching the gladiators.
We don't have enough Christians left to
throw to the lions. But we can always fire
the coach, which is almost as good.
And we have something Romans didn't.
We have an almost-instant view of disas-
ters all over the world. So I guess mankind
has made one giant step backward in the
past 1500 years.
It looks as though the hand-in-hand
waltz of the oil companies and the car
manufacturers, which has lasted nearly
half a century, is going to become, "Good
Night, Ladies."
But the merry Walpurgisnacht of the
western world continues its mad whirl as
oil companies and airlines and car manu-
facturers and boat makers furiously adver-
tise their wares. And the rest of us just as
wildly rush out to buy them.
Of course, I don't mean a word of all
this. Somehow, the human spirit, though at
one of its lowest points in centuries, will
survive and prevail. We'll find something.
But in the meantime, I'm going to
sharpen my axe and get busy installing a
windmill. See you in the bush lot.
