Druids!!!!!

It is currently 12:22am here in Savannah, Ga and I am watching chanel 109 (geo tv) and at 1:00 they are going to be showing a program on Druids. The description of the program is this

"(TV-14,V), Investigating claims that the Druids of Celtic Britain practiced human sacrifice almost 2000 years ago. (2009), (Documentary), (V=Intense Violence)"

now, I am not a druid, or a sister of druidism (I know nothing of them). But I do have friends who are and I am asking you what you believe of this program and what you can tell me of Druids today.

One dead, somewhat mummified body in some water with wounds consistent with murder/sacrifice do not make it a Druid sacrifice.; ▶ Reply to This

Finally someone who gets it!! I'm sick to death of historians' dewy-eyed worship of all things Roman. They did suck!! They caused strife and death wherever they went, and in their own society.
And other cultures did things that most people attribute to the Romans before they did them...like building roads. The Celts were building roads and bridges across bogs and rivers before Rome was even an empire. But I guess they have to be made of stone to count.
