Would You Condemn Socrates?

The correct answer should be "I bloody well hope not!"

But apparently the people of Chicago would, at least according to an item I heard on NPR this morning!

Admittedly, I don't have all the details by a long shot, but supposedly a jury of 1,000 of our esteemed neighbors in Illinois, having listened to hot-shot lawyers make their cases for and against the idea that Socrates was a traitor to Democracy, of all things, for the crime of encouraging young people to question the way things are - found the great freethinker GUILTY!

God help us!
