George Santayana's quote is ringing in my head as I am reading the introduction to "The Crucible", in which Marion Starkey is quoted as saying, "[The Salem Witch Hunt] has been revived on a colossal scale by replacing the mideval idea of malefic witchcraft by a pseudo-scientific concept like 'race', 'nationality' and by substituting for theological dissension a whole complex of warring ideologies... it is an allegory of our times." Marion Starkey wrote this in 1949... the allegory is as much true today as it was then. When will we learn from our past? #history #photography #inspirationalquotes #kidstuph #immorethanmyrace #immorethanmyreligion #soareyou #challenge #lovebeatsfear (at Bend, Oregon)
