Notably: Sanctuary cities were not always the scourge of reactionary America. Olympia, Delos, Delphi: those cities of Ancient Greece were considered sanctuary cities in the original, the classical sense of the term. It is there that other cities’ residents gathered to celebrate deities. It is at Olympia that starting in around 700 BC they gathered to celebrate what came to be known as the Olympian, now the Olympic, games, albeit in slightly different dress (or undress). Women were neither participants nor spectators. Then as now the games were held every four years, though unlike bow, they had no such things as Winter Games, or Bob Costas. Olympia made provisions in its village for each city state’s athletes: the original Olympic village. Commemorative sculptures recognized past winners. Amphitheaters were essential to sanctuary cities, as was drama, entertaining the masses after the day’s competitions, as was each city’s temple. Delphi of course was home to the famous oracle (the Fox News of its day). Delphi had its own oracle and its own games (the Pythian), but we don’t remember those much, though UNESCO’s Heritage-site page tells us: “The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the ‘navel of the world’. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.” There were no such things as “illegal aliens,” lost Phoenicians aside.

History begins in the Near East. As we have seen, the cradle of humanity lies probably elsewhere, but the historian’s narrative cannot begin at the creation of the first Adam. The slow biological emergence of Homo sapiens, the sort of human being we are, precedes history, and the greater part of the existence of Homo sapiens also ran before the beginning of history. The essential difference between “prehistory” and “history” is mental. “History” means the conscious and intentional remembrance of things past, in a living tradition transmitted from one generation to another. For this there must be some continuous organization, be it the family of the chieftain in the beginning, or the school today, which has reason to care for the Past of the group and has the capacity for transmitting the historical tradition to future generations. History exists only in a persisting society which needs history to persist.

–From John Garraty’s Columbia History of the World (1974).

    Considering the voter registration, and voting record, of your local audience, I appeal to you to promulgate this news report as an urgent matter:

    Here’s where we are in “Fear and Hate Filled America these terrible days:

    AP-
    An 11-year-old boy was fatally shot in Houston after a prank in which he rang the doorbell of a home and ran away, police said Sunday.

    The boy had been ringing doorbells as a prank late Saturday evening, the Houston Police Department said in a statement. Commonly referred to as “ding dong ditching,” the prank involves fleeing before someone inside the home opens the door.

    The boy, who has not yet been identified, died of his wounds Sunday, police said.

    Police spokesperson Shay Awosiyan said that officers were still investigating and had not arrested anybody in connection with the boy’s death as of Sunday evening.

    Other “ding dong ditch” pranks have turned deadly in the past. In 2023, a Southern California man was convicted on three counts of first-degree murder for killing three teenage boys by intentionally ramming their car after they rang his doorbell as a prank.

    And in May, a Virginia man was charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting an 18-year-old who had rung his doorbell while a filming a TikTok video of the prank, the New York Times reported.

    Pogo: Thanks for the info. I saw a dramatic “alert” on one of my computers. It claimed to be from Microsoft and stated my machine had a known virus. It showed a number to call, supposed to belong to Microsoft technical help. It was so authentic looking that I stared at it for a couple minutes before I shut down the CPU. When I started it up again, all was just fine. The “alert” was a scam.

    BTW, I am enjoying Linux Mint, and will probably put it on my aging two-in-one laptop.
