Meanwhile, read my post #189, which is particularly interesting, if I do say so myself. It is a quote from Jefferson via the Library of Congress website, which corroborates a point I made earlier in the thread.
bybybill, you have my sympathy for being a history major presumably taught by commies, post-1955, in an American college.
I hope you can someday overcome this handicap. Were you not allowed to pass tests unless you regurgitated exactly what the leftist history professors ranted about in class?
That's how I remember history class at a midwestern state school in the 1980s.
I remember the electives I had to take at Indiana University, and the garbage I had to read, the lie-packed lectures, the leftist preaching.
I confess I did not dare contradict the fuzzy-headed hippies who was lecturing.
Can't imagine what it would be like to have to depend on those guys' grades to get my degree.
Scary thought.
