History, not only are people prone to forget, TPTB often completely rewrite it. For instance - graduated from public school in 1965, and had never heard the true story of Thanksgiving. At least, at no time that I remember. Classrooms heard the version of how the Natives helped, the fact we gave thanks to them. Yet, at this time, we were still able to say the Lord’s prayer, in classroom,as a group. One day the teacher even wrote the entire prayer on the chalkboard so EVERY STUDENT would know the words used. Given today’s climate, she would have been kicked out of the building on her keister. So which was the greater force causing history to be rewritten? Liberals wishing to distance the country from GOD; Liberals unwilling to admit their doctrine failed centuries ago, and capitalism endured to advance our history?
Seldom traveled to California. Family drove out when I was very young (able to appreciate Disneyland) Beautiful country and sandy beaches. Expensive even way back then. San Fran was visited, Fisherman’s Wharf. The cable cars Just about all I remember re Ca.
The drive along the ocean highway all the way northward into Washington and then turn eastward toward North Dakota/Minnesota. The northbound drive was endowed with lovely scenic views. And the waterfalls were abundant. About 40 years ago flew to LA on business. This was the last the state was ever visited. If there is anything to fondly remember from childhood, it’s the fact that every year the family went on summer vacation, packed the car and drove, and America was our camp ground. So many states and friendly faces seen. Thus, my love for this great nation.

Totally agree. Leftist activism changes our notion of history itself.
It’s great that your family went on these driving vacations. So many hasn’t traveled enough to a true appreciation for the country.
