I fell in love with history at 7! No teacher ever could shake that focus. Give a young kid the right books and see what happens...
But I must have been destined for it. I remember watching the Kennedy-Nixon election returns, and even when Khruschev came to the US and they wouldn't let him into Disneyland. As a five year old, I thought that was very mean.

Jordan definitely did not like Zarqawi....
Me too...I preferred history to stories as a kid...and still do.
