It’s a good thing dragons aren’t (or weren’t) real. I could imagine this happening but over the years, I’ve learned through books and documentaries that the people from the Dark through Middle Ages weren’t as stupid or superstitious as we were taught. Much of the negative attitudes originate with our ancestors from the Renaissance through Industrial Ages. There’s a lot of over-romanticizing certain aspects with the Victorian English, namely Richard the Lionhearted being a “good” king.
I also saw a demonstration of modern idiocy on my way to dinner tonight. About a dozen anti-masker schmucks were protesting outside Pflugerville HS. I gave them the finger. Next time I hope there isn’t a cop parked nearby, I would like to blast some uncomplimentary songs at them. Any suggestions? So far I’m leading with “Dumb, Dumb, Dumb” by the Austin Lounge Lizards.
