Each step they take forwards always seem to knock people back. For people any history is good history, no matter who is hurt or discriminated against. A good point brought forward, and well written

Thank you hun.

Miss Liz' - mankind has never been one to learn from history much of anything. We seem to repeat and repeat. Like a bad habit? Well written piece.

Thank you Brian HUGZ

Yeah that's the perfect way to honor the memory and lives of the poor souls that were persecuted and tortured to death. Sounds to me like the mayor is just jumping on the publicity band wagon. What a moron! All anyone has to do is stop and think and theyd realize how idiotic the idea is.

I agree, but so many are awed by the glitz of Hollywood, that they are blind to the taint that it brings.

So many were persecuted (murdered) because of their psychic abilities or mental illness. I agree with you. It is a horrible shame to glorify what was once a reason to be be on trial and executed. It was very common in Spain also: The "Black Legend". I had ancestors who were burned at the stake for being different.

And now the movie the statue was erected to promote has bombed... further proving my point.

Yeah, it's embarassing, bless their tiny hearts...but what do you expect from people who can't get their own religion straight? It beats Buffy the Vampire...uh, poofer. # In fact, it wasn't any abilities on the part of the victims that got them killed: It was the repression of humanity in the people who made the accusations and did the deeds. Repression breeds perversion. (TM) :) Some guy falls in lust and can't admit his own feelings--because his "church" calls it sin--or some girl gets jealous or wants to be famous for a day... In Salem, they kept the liars and killed the honest ones: Those who "confessed" lived.

So true babes, so true. And I giggle now that the movie has bombed so badly LOL.

Bless your heart, it never ceases, does it?

Nope... sure doesn't.
