It is certainly hoped that should any American accidentally stumble into this obscure "wisdom", that they have the wisdom and experience to give due attention to the context of the difference in time and level of world conditions in terms of travel, technology, communications.
Context is the great illuminator.
Well, whadyaknow? We agree upon something. Context.
And given the difference in time and level of world conditions in terms of travel, technology, communications combined with the spooky similarites in the tidepools of history--which will outlast planes, toys and amplifiers--I am correct to be apalled by the dangerous delight in loose, lazy historical citations. They know not what they do because they know not what was done. (or, more horrifying--they approve of what was done)
And probably they care not. They're rolling, you know........
