FR is a learning experience for all of us! I’m getting some of the history and political education I never got in high school or college. It’s hard to not become cynical sometimes when you find out the truth about so many things that had been taught differently!
Believe me, it was taught differently when I was a kid (graduated H.S. in 1956, college in 1961). It started changing when my kids were in school (the mid-to-late 70's).
I have come to the realization that just about everything I was taught growing up (on a variety of subjects) was false. The real truth has been hidden, re-written, and suppressed and propaganda has been substituted for it.
