Can’t recall about Dante, but what’s the old saying... “Whom the Gods Destroy, they first make mad.”
That seems to be America at this point.
Yes indeed,
For cunningly of old
was the celebrated saying revealed:
evil sometimes seems good
to a man whose mind
a god leads to destruction. ...(Sophocles, Antigone 620-3)
(and Dante’s Hell has at least 9 levels. The lawyers are sent to Level 3, where they are confined to a hot burning metal box to suffocate forever , or something like that... what goes around, comes around..)
