An Office in Hand

I just got call from a salesman from “Hiboo” who wants to build me a web page. And it will only cost me $119.00/month. I wasn’t interested. But what was interesting was his persistence.

Righting History Past Is Prologue On the front of the National Archives in Washington, D.C, There are two statues. One of a muse has a plaque on its base which reads, “Past is Prologue.”  The second is an old man with a history book in hand its base reads, “Study the Past.”         Destroying Witches!!! I n 1690 Colonial America the Accused was considered legally Guilty until Proven Innocent, On June 2, 1692, Bridgett Bishop of the Massachusetts colony was accused of not living the Puritan lifestyle. She wore black clothing, odd costumes and her coat was strangely cut. Her main accuser was a 12 year old girl, Ann Putnam who said Bishop caused her pains. Bishop was thus accused of being a witch, immediately found guilty of living an immoral lifestyle which proved she was a Witch! On June 10, 1692 just eight days later - Bridgett was hung. In 1706 fourteen years later, Ann Putnam aged 26, confessed she had made it all up.                    There
