People “learn” different things from the same history.

History is just gossip in fancy clothes.

“history” is almost always written by the winners.

History never repeats it’s self, occasionally it gets up and hits you over the head and screams: “Don’t you ever learn?” – R. A. Heinlein

Ashburn Stadium: I am shocked by the number of experienced political activists who don’t know we are not permitted to vote for president. (A non-binding suggestion to the anonymous elite who do elect that office is not a vote.) Work on an unlocked congress and honest state and local governments. As for the presidential wasted “vote”, vote for Jill Stein and the Green Party. At least they favor letting you actually vote for president and the idea that a healthy citizenry is in the national interest – just like civilized countries do.

I believe history is not boring, but the way it’s taught is. History is full of stories as fascinating as any big budget mega-movie but it’s just not presented that way to the kids. sigh

“I used to hate history as a kid also but that changed the older I became”I made good grades in history, but didn’t like it because it was so unfailingly depressing (and that was when it was Bowdlerized all over the place). It’s still depressing!

hahahahaha :D
