On this day in History the first Salem witch was hanged. A group of ultra conservative Puritan men twisted the deeds and words of a growing liberal populaton into the work of the devil, thus causing fear and hate to rise and the Salem Witches trials were the result. Hopefully we have learned that crazy right wing ultra conservatives can twist simple every day things into wierd scary events. Oh wait, we learned nothing from History now did we.
A Poem of Salem
In Salem there is a sign
that some may think is fine
But a statue above it
Just doesn't cut it
For it is Samantha from Bewitched
Isn't that rich
A place where innocent people were killed
Is now being billed
As a toursit attraction for the masses
I hope that none of this passes
Into history.
