Wrong. I have loved history ever since elementary school back in the 1950’s. There use to be a series of books with orange covers written for that age kids. I read them all. When I started college, I wanted to major in history but changed my mind. I have never stopped learning. History is fascinating. If we do not know our past, we do not know about the future. Right now I am very interested in the Old West. I would love to go to old west ghost towns.

That’s great about your love of history, but you must have fallen asleep when they covered the atrocities that Oliver Cromwell forced upon the Catholic Church.

Newman was speaking directly to you when he said that.

A suggestion: Little Big Man. The book, not the (yuk) movie.

The truth is even more fascinating than prot revisionism.

Trekking through old ghost towns doesn’t offer much in the way of education.

Most of them are actually re-creations, and in the real ones, everything of value had been carted off anyway.

You will get some exercise though; they’re mostly on hillsides in the desert.
