Believe it or not, there are many people out there
who think witch trials and executions were just
an American thing, even though a little bit of easy
research would prove otherwise.
Around the same time,
witch trials and executions were happening
throughout Europe and on other continents, with more
frequency than in north America.
And there are those who would kneejerk
into a conclusion that religion was to blame.
Again, chock that up to ignorance.
The superstition that was prevalent at that time
could be directly traced to the dark ages,
and the black plague.
That really messed societies up and it took
centuries to recover.
Of course even today, we have people who believe
bigfoot exists, the moon landing was faked,
9/11 was an inside job, and the earth is flat.
There have always been fools.
That's not a problem until the fools gain critical mass
and a mob mentality.
