So thats where it went. I knew it never really died. Oh well, I can finally take solace in the fact that America isnt the last country to kill under the guise of witch hunting.

OT: The sad thing is, this is normal for them. -_-# its time for a major injection of common sense and science into Haitians. I know I'm going to take shit for that, but it really is.

I believe similar things happen in Nigeria, over "witches".

Every civilization seems to go through this stage. Not really much we can do about it except remember that we used to do it and let it run its course.

The same thing happened while I was in Nepal in 2006.

Not really a "stage", it seems like throughout history everyone has always lashed out at whatever scapegoat minority is most convenient. There's plenty we could do for them, like education.
