p>Kudos to Eric Peters for the most appropriate and most resonant
historical allusion that I have yet seen in
TAS

context, I couldn’t suppress a howl of delight at his felicitous
use of the old Spanish Inquisition phrase,

Needless to say, the Spanish Inquisition had nothing to compare
with our latter-day environmental Torquemadas that are predicting
the immolation of the entire planet, not to mention creating the
circumstances for individual immolations from ETOH. Even Dostoevsky
would have been impressed, I dare say, with Mr. Peters’
phraseology. He made my day!
