I read a quote this morning that said something to the effect of people who have no history will likewise have no future. I think that is worth pondering on.
That's funny. I'm part of the last set of cohorts who were really drilled on history in school. I know that, because my wife, 12.5 years my junior, didn't get that drilling. Surprise! It happened when the "Moral Majority" whined about all those liberal teachers and their indoctirination, which lead to a massive dumbing-down of the history curriculum almost everywhere. Now you want to complain? Really?
