Greed and history in a Mississippi Valley reflection
A. W. Baird reflects on the Black Hills, greed, and the rise and fall of civilizations. He laments land monopoly, warns of unchecked loans and government dependence, and urges strong leadership to guide future generations, asking if progress will outpace despair or repeat ancient crucifixions. He ends with a wary jab at Hitler and a joke about a Reds losing streak.
