I have come to think that our writing our history condemns us to repeat it rather than the other way around. With oral history it is possible to creatively adjust it in each generation. With written history, it is only creatively adjusted (no history is written truthfully) when it is first written down which is the time it is least understood or at least, least seen in perspective. Then, since it is written, we seem condemned to believing it rather than making it useful to our needs. ////jerry > > > - EvErY day is a rare gift - > > Have a gr8 day every one, it's unique...:-) > > -- > /Peo > > > > ---------------------------------------------- > - PGP signed/encrypted emails is prefered - > ---------------------------------------------- > > [novice about this? ~> visit: www.gnupg.org]
