Another wave of plague hit Europe in the 1600's, and there was no widespread killing of cats at that time.

Actually DeFoe wrote that 200,000 cats were killed in London during the Great Plague (1640) as a preventative. Cats were believed to be witches' familiars.

Well nice of you to respond. Answer me this, what's with the "slightly edited" business?

Why omit sentences? Change science to nature? Change political backlash to unintended consequences? etc., what's the point?

Thank you. I'll be in town all week :o)

[Conspiracy Guy]

People's ideas of fun don't include stuff like you've "shared" previously. However, if you're trying to reform, then we'll continue to march.

What's said is simply not true. However, if one were to go back in history, every region and belief system have had good periods and bad periods. Just where do the descendants of that era live now and what belief system has proven most effective over time?
