Moonbat Tech: Druidic Sun God Worship

Look what passes for "Technology and Science" at liberal MSNBC:
SALISBURY, England - Thousands of New Agers and neo-pagans danced and whooped in delight Monday as a bright early morning sun rose above the ancient stone circle Stonehenge, marking the summer solstice.
The event had the euphoric feel of an Obama campaign rally:
As the sun rose, a woman climbed a rock in the circle center and blew a horn, welcoming in the longest day of the year north of the equator. Drums, tambourines, and cheers reverberated in the background.
"It means a lot to us … being British and following our pagan roots," said Victoria Campbell, who watched on, wearing a pair of white angel's wings and had a mass of multicolored flowers in her hair. The 29-year-old Londoner, who works in the finance industry, also said that "getting away from the city" was a major draw.
"It is stunning," said Stewart Dyer, a 43-year-old National Health Service worker and dancer on his first trip to the solstice celebration. "To actually be able to dance amongst the stones, to be able to touch the stones, to be that close to such an ancient monument is unbelievable."
Unbelievable is the word for it, all right. As for the purpose of Stonehenge, other than to inspire drug-addled neo-hippies and MSNBC Technology and Science features:
"The truthful answer is we don't know exactly what it was for," said Amanda Chadburn, an archaeologist with English Heritage, which manages the site.
Maybe from the moonbat point of view this story really is about science. Dancing amongst the stones erected in homage to the sinister gods of the dark ages makes as much sense as trying to meet our energy needs with flaky boondoggles like biofuels and windmills. A few human sacrifices might cause the lights to come on by magic.
