Dark Ages return in Baltimore?
10th November 2007
You will remember (unless you went to a public school) that the Dark Ages were that period of European history where civilization was under attack from the pagan Vikings from the north, the pagan Magyars from the east, and the quasi-pagan Muslims from the south. But Christianity survived, and eventually flourished, and kicked their asses. The Vikings and Magyars got with the program and became Christian; the Muslims retreated into the barbarism whence they had sprung.
Perhaps it’s time for a little of that action yet again….
