Although this piece is at times political, Grayson offers up a good primer of the history of the phrase and concept "the devil take the hindmost," dating back to a 1610 play performed by the Shakespeare's troop The King's Men. As such, it asks if we as a people want to let the least of us fall ... and if that doesn't also threaten the strongest of us as well.
