The Auld Nick Sentinel

As a self-proclaimed Witch-Craze Denier, someone who believes that the witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries weren't as bad as modern feminists have made them out to be, controversial historian David Disgustine is refused entry to Salem and many parts of northern Europe. "I'm not saying that no witches were burned," he says. "Just that they weren't burned all that badly. Perhaps a slight crisping around the edges and a bit of an irritating ruddiness in the face."
Miss Elsie Nobrah of the The Old Crone Memory Project disagrees. "Millions of lonely old women were condemned in kangaroo courts and then executed by crazy old men," she argues. "You'd have to be a crazy old man yourself to believe that these crazy events never took place."
"Whatever," replies Disgustine. "The United Nations established a permanent home for witches in Cambridge, Massachusetts after the Revolutionary War. What more do these wretched women want?"

Famous female chess grandmaster, Roberta Pescatore, spoke quite vehemently about the International Wiccan conspiracy. She claimed witches had conspired with the Falo Moving and Storage Co. to steal millions of dollars of her memorabilia from a storage space in Piacenza. She also claimed the Italian government was a sham, a shadow Wiccan government and that Berlusconi's second wife was a witch. In fact, her Italian citizenship was revoked after she tried to clip the hair and toenails of the Italian first lady in an attempt to break a spell she claimed the former model had set upon her. Marginalized and ridiculed by the end of her life (and also due to her liberal use of profanity), she was only able to air her views on Sicilian radio. Oddly enough, it appears her father was actually a Warlock. She died a broken women.

A cautionary tale I share with you because of my concern for your future well-being.
