Yeah. I was offended at protesters toppling statues of Confederate generals, but when they started defacing statues of Lincoln, Grant, and Frederic Douglas, it was clear that they had lost their ever-loving minds.
Two things to remember about the devil are that he not only wants us damned, he also wants to give us nothing in return and make us into fools along the way. The "give us nothing" seems to be progressing well, from real goods (like cattle) to gold to promissory notes for gold to "the full faith and credit" to bitcoin. As for making us fools, well, that seems to be working well lately, too.
Yep. Foolishness doesn't begin to describe. I've said for some time that the spirits of medieval peasants will rise up and accuse us for ever portraying them as fools.
