Academic...The past , real or imagined doesn't exist exept in the minds man.

I give, what do you call it?

Fear of the past is a topic very close to my heart. Chesterton wrote about it in 1910. Dylan mentions it in his latest album. "She said, 'ya can't repeat the past.' "Ya can't repeat the past? Whatdaya mean, of course you can!"

"If I am to discuss what is wrong, one of the first things that are wrong is this: the deep and silent modern assumuption that past things have become impossible."(GK Chesterton WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD, 1910) chesterton.org
