I used to think that way too, but after having seen so much of the same ignorance on this site and others, I now believe that it is what it is, re WATERS WORLD. He usually can't get that many to answer his questions and yet, sometimes he DOES get more who know history/current news, than don't.

Schools, whether public, charter parochial, private, ELITE PRIVATE, or homeschool teach what I learned about history, way back when. Okay, I'll also admit to coming from a family who loved, cherished, and told factual history, as just stories, and yes, I have read a lot of books on certain different ears, but goodness know, I'm just talking about simple historical facts; not the minutiae.

I agree. To be honest, you can’t miss history unless you almost try.

There is an advantage of being an old coot. You lived through things.

I’m curious. If I can, I try to remember bits and pieces. Over time I’ve learned quite a bit because it interested me enough I wanted to remember it accurately.

Most times I do.

Take care.
