Witch Burning or Blame is the Name of the Game
Witch-burning has been with us a very long time. Today it’s a bit more metaphoric than literal, but accusations and “witch burning” remain very much a part of “human nature”, whether we participate or just watch. What lies at the root of the finger-pointing? Who are you escorting to the witch hunt?
