Re: The Destruction of History Continues
With all the really scary stuff happening in the world that affects everyone - like global warming, who really gives a $%4k? I don't. I'm worrying about the big picture.

Re: The Destruction of History Continues
To me the big picture involves learning from the past and hopefully not making the same mistakes over again.
Which is a large reason why they teach us history in school, and put up little reminders.
I hated history in school, but can't get enough of it as an adult.

1 thing that tends to concern me is any whitewashing of historical events &/or people.
Documentation should include everything, meaning.
The good... the bad and any ugly.
btw I’m not saying dig up dirt on someone, if they are documented doing something bad or even ugly. Don’t whitewash it.
Then read and learn what happened in the past, do our best not to repeat the bad & ugly.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.
