        When ancient Rome was at its peak, citizens at birth, were divided into two groups, the Greens and the Blues.

        There was no racism, only total commitment to your birth colour and distain for the other colour.

        When you voted, you voted for corrupt and incompetent political representation, but it was the corruption of your birth colour, not some distasteful corruption of the other colour.

        When you went to the chariot races at Circus Maximas, you would bet on and cheered for your birth colour. This all sounds familiar to citizens of the modern Western democratic system, except for one very major difference. That is, the colours are now Red and Blue and not Blue and Green.

        I sometimes wonder why the leaders of present day Kopitall system don’t adopt the ancient Roman system for determining the future by using trained priests that dig through and read the entails of sacrificed goats. Instead, they listen to journalists digging through the entrails of Kopitallist theories.
