>>>>>Nothing very serious, of course, but many people died because their beliefs didn't match those in power who were clothed with the authority of the state.<<<<< Well, perhaps then we may hope to experience no worse. When I read about the people who were murdered as the result of the Salem Witch Trials, it makes me so sad. Imagine how terrifying it must be to have your entire community turn against you, and have nowhere to do, and no one to raise a hand in your defense. I hope that we will never see those days again in this country, but every day I read about civilized people committing the most atrocious barbarities, and I know that the veneer of civilization is quite thin.
