salem witch trials

             As you might know, people in Salem are getting put on trial for being considered a
             witch or practicing witchcraft.These acusations are being made by the community.
             There is only one problem though.They don't have true evidence showing this.They
             are just getting blamed because they either act different, not the elect, or if
             someone was holding grudge with the person.You should definitly stop the trials
             before any more innocent lives are being taken.
             One evident reason to stop is because people getting accused only by greed or
             hatred.Thomas Putnam is definitly one of those people accusing.If you look on the death

             them no about him doing witchcraft.Their punishment for him was putting rocks
             on his body until he confessed or died. He stood by his word and was killed. Now
             how would you feel if they killed your grandpa for practicing witchcraft and you
             knew that was not true. He would die for no reason: just like the people in Salem.
             My last reason is that the Salem trials is an issue of debt and debtors. The first
             accuser of witchcraft owed the suspected "witch" money. This mass hystaria is an
             issue of monatary obligation not sourcery. If you take care of the debt problems, the
             problem with witchcraft will cease. You can't deal with the symptoms of a disease
