My point was that people were cruel back in the day ~ but not as bad as we are. They didn't, for example, make the slaughter of the innocent unborn a primary policy of state. Frankly, today's wholesale slaughter of human flesh would have HORRIFIED even the Bloody Mary's and her counterparts everywhere ~ even the Moslems would have been distressed.
