The ignorance of history may be the single biggest factor in the destruction of America. I know from conversations that most of the college graduates in my area who are under fifty or so (I am unsure exactly where the dividing line is) lack the knowledge of history that my generation gained in grade school before even ENTERING high school. A 1960 public high school graduate knew more about history than the college graduates of today who major in history. Much of what the younger people THINK THEY KNOW about history is wrong.

Those who KNOW NOTHING about the mistakes of history are certainly doomed to repeat them.

I accuse the smarmy aides in the Reps’ and Senators’ offices of ‘either not informing their bosses of what is the temperament of their constituents, or they are being complicit in the takeover of the country’.
