I agree with all your thoughts on this thread. SMARTY gets it! It’s impossible to study human history and not reach the conclusions you have reached. It puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

[SMARTY]

There is no epoch, event or people in history which may be properly understood if you omit this very human aspect of the equation.

I have found that if you take money and blood out of the narrative, history will make even LESS sense...and history is pretty confusing, anyway!
