The Dark Ages Response

I agree that the Dark Ages should be known as the Dark Ages. This period of trouble rulers and troubled people make up a very sad, disturbing, “dark” era.  With  the constant wars and battles and the loss of technology mentioned, the people of this time have not much to live for.  With a civilization that cannot even read and write, but is only concerned about how to get their next meal or where to live, a civilization cannot get very much accomplished.  With the extreme poverty, and the massive rulers the people have no say in how their lives are run.  The religion rage is also another big deal.  This rage is a cause of most the wars in this time period.  The wars between Christians and Muslims tell back to the Dark Ages.  Still the constant fight over the right religion exists.  There is one thing that I disagree with in Tucker’s response.  During this time period there are rulers, some rulers are unknown but still there are rulers.  With rulers it is not possible for Anarchy but more a bunch of Dictatorships.  These rulers are one of the main causes for the Dark Ages with all the poverty and uneducated people.  The rulers start wars and make other bad decisions.  There are definitely rulers in the Dark ages, they may not be good rulers, or even well known rulers, but with rulers it is not possible for an Anarchy.
