Our society has become so obsessed with "owning a piece of history" that the boundaries of what really is a piece of history has been stretched to the limit. Not every fragment of our past has historical significance: I think we agree that Ted Williams' uniform or game used bat does, but that his frozen head doesn't. But if that mummified noggin' of his hit the auction block, there's no doubt that a shameless stream of bidders would get in line for it. It has become a national obsession- and we wonder why the rest of the civilized world hates us and looks at us with such contempt. |
