Here's a letter to the Times of London by some poor sap who needs some kind of shakabuku treatment (you have to have seen Grosse Pointe Blank to get this reference) and a good book by Warren Hollister or R. W. Southern...Apparently, medievals "[found] evidence an embarrassment and [saw] little value in human rights." Amazing. But then again, just google "dark ages" and see what you get.
