Everything's gone Wrong.

In general, the 'Renaissance' and the 'Enlightenment' have been characterised as movements which were beneficial to mankind. As our society desperately thrashes around in the new century, clumsily clawing away at the pit of mediocrity into which we have fallen, I feel compelled to disagree. People are quick to criticise the Middle Ages (Indeed, the term 'medieval' itself is constantly used as a derogatory one,) yet the 'Middle Ages' they attack is often a strawman - a composite of lies created by ignorant Victorian buffoons who were so absorbed in their sense of superiority that they could not comprehend the beauty and genius of the period they defiled. If people only studied the real past so much of the imbecility of the modern world could be avoided. The concept of democracy was, for example, well known in the Middle Ages. The reason it was not put into place was because it was regarded as a terrible form of government, and one only needs to watch the tedious weekly pantomime which masquerades as 'Prime Minister's Questions' to realise that Chaucer's measure of the system was indeed correct and that government would probably be better off in the hands of ' a few folk who are wise and full of reason, rather than a great multitude of people in which every man shouts and prattles on about what-ever he wants'.

But I digress too far. The point of this post was to introduce my blog, a blog which is based on my belief that the time-line has been corrupted and that everything has, in fact, gone wrong. It is my intention to juxtapose current affairs with the beliefs and actions of a superior era to illustrate why everything is so weedy and why so much has gone rubbish.
