The as amazing thing is that they found him, although they did not know it was Richard III at first, the first day of the permit for the dig -- a tightly controlled process in the U.K., where layers of history and building foundations are so built up, so close together. Here's just one of the stories about the find from a couple of years ago: http://www.macleans.ca/society/the-woman-who-found-richard-iii/GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-82939355965060795432015-03-30T16:57:07.882-03:002015-03-30T16:57:07.882-03:00A smart researcher hit on searching for something ...A smart researcher hit on searching for something various entities wanted to find that had been connected to the king, because she knew it would be tough to get permission for a "long lost monarch" hunt. The as incredible thing is, while they didn't know it was Richard III's skeleton at first, they found it on the first day of the permit for the dig (a very strict thing in the U.K. with so many layers of built-up history close together.)

Even the young Thomas More, working for a young Cardinal (ahem), did some of the writing.<br /><br />I've been thinking how society seems to need demons and scapegoats, and it's a scary thing to ponder. Mostly, I think, the demonizing or scapegoating distracts from the real issue, which is very often rooted in a form of incompetence - inability to govern, to make crops grow, to cure plague - if those we believe to be good can't make bad things go away, there must be demons at work.<br /><br />As you can imagine, I was very impressed by Monica Lewinsky's TED talk. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-48790948379146548152015-03-24T10:56:39.540-03:002015-03-24T10:56:39.540-03:00I love history too, and in particular British hist...I love history too, and in particular British history...
