Tom Lovell's "Raid on Clonmacnoise". Lovell was a regular contributor to National Geographic articles, and much more meticulous in creating accurate historical depictions than your average illustrator.

I guess this is what is meant by touching grass.

I think Jim Morrison might disagree with that. As would Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Kurt Cobain...and others

To be fair, the very image of their religion is a man being tortured.

Whenever I think the world has gone completely to shit, I see a picture like that and I think, "Hmmm, OK maybe things right now aren't all THAT bad!"

Yes, the Spanish Inquisition, represented in that picture, was a horrible nightmare, but I wonder about the nightmares children raped by priests have every night...That is another kind of torture...and that is ONGOING...Whenever I think the world has gone completely to shit, I see a picture like that and I think, "Hmmm, OK maybe things right now aren't all THAT bad!"

I've probably already mentioned this before, but in a college Government class, the lone engineer surrounded by Government majors, there was a discussion about violence being propagated by television. I raised the point, possibly too straight faced, about how violent television must have been in the late 19th/early 20th centuries in America with the lynching and race based violence. Teacher (my second least impressive professor I had in college), noted there was no television back then.
Nothing about airports during the US's Revolutionary War?
