Watch This Space

Is this the future? A blast from the past? Time is a flat circle. Especially if this re-treaded nonsense makes a resurgence. 

Sadly all the responses to that last tweet are from people too young to remember people actually prosecuted, or simply accused and damned, over allegations of “Satanism” in pre-schools. The “mass hysteria” of the Salem witch trials probably isn’t historical, but this hysteria was. I remember it well. I don’t think we’re going to see that again. But everything old is new again; and again; and again.
