What is scary is that a hundred years from now, when scholars read our history, they will either say, how could we not see this

What is scarier, though, is the thought that they see nothing wrong, that the 'history' they read will be written by the victors (as in any conflict), and it will present the 'glorious past' without qualm.

In the opening lines of “Braveheart”, Robert the Bruce says ‘history is written by those who would hang heroes’ or something along those lines. That movie depicted human nature to a tee. Nothing has changed since then except that we get our news instantly instead of by horseman or carrier pigeon.
