The Death of History
My old pal Jared recenlty wrote a post about the fact that many Americans have no understanding of American history. On a similar note, today at the library I overheard a grandfather discussing history with his two grandsons. They were browsing in the American history section and the kids wanted to know all about the Civil War. The grandfather said, "Well, the Civil War began all because of George Washington." It made me sad.

Es triste calor...
Lol, I remember you telling me that a friend of yours made up that phrase!
My brother made it up. I've not heard him say it in a while. Maybe there are too many people who speak Spanish here, or something.
