500 years in slightly fewer pages, much of this is a very interesting thread of how attitudes and beliefs have changed in this country. Some where we picked up the idea that we are all so "individual" that we have the right to believe things...whatever things we want to believe. Reason went out the window and conspiracy theory's and fantasy took over. On the one hand, I found this fascinating, on the other hand, it was terrifying. As a librarian, the idea that facts are optional isn't popular. Surely we can do better, but will we?
