I’m am quite saddened by the destruction of the Library at Alexandria.

Always terribly upsetting to me when ignorant fools in power destroy the hard won knowledge of their betters of the past.

Happening again when Muslims take dynamite and air hammers to ancient sculpture as well as destroying books. In Biblical Archeology Review (I subscribe) it said an innocent white-haired curator was tortured to make him tell under duress the hidden locations of precious artifacts and chiseled words on tablets so the Muslims could raid the hiding places. Which they soon did. Disgusting.

A Season 12 episode of Ancient Aliens showed two possibilities of the Catholic Church with some irreplaceable artifacts and information: some said they destroyed the relics and writings to win against non-Catholic cultures, the others said Catholics "hide" rather than destroy (as in the top secret Vatican Library vaults.) Behind their forty foot walled Vatican----a model for Texas and Arizona to use for wall building, by the way.

Nothing matches my sadness about the torch the Democrats are putting to the U.S. Constitution.
