You do realize that your view of history conflicts with what is being taught in many schools across the country today?

Saw a letter to the editor. The writer, a black man, was extolling the numerous virtues of the black race, in the course of which he made the comment, "We built the pyramids." There are a great many today who believe similarly - mostly on the basis of the half-formed hypotheses of two or three 'historians'.

If we can't save all the people on a sinking ship, should we save any of them at all then? That is the analogy.
