Its Bread and Circuses all over again tho.
The Lottery like Reigion gives people Hope, as any good social scientist knows you have to dangle a carrot in front of the population occasionally. Or esle there its a easier path to riots and revolution.
Question for you though.
I know 2 "freinds of a freinds" who became millionares, one was the cousion of close freind and the other was the brother in law of someone I used to prop up the bar with. Is that the whole six degress of seperation, what are the odds of that.
