An exciting thought for all of you. A friend occasionally visits me to put a video camera in my face, and ask me a question. He then puts them on youtube. There are six or seven of them so far. The most recent (late today) one is about the purpose of history. Just go to you tube, and enter graeme decarie. Warning, susceptible women should have smelling salts available.
 
History tends to do that to people that find anything out of the present distasteful and prone to potential to teach you something about other's experiences ... just crap to those that despise learning things from other periods of time ... isn't that awesome ... to consider learning something other than what you wished as a pain in the following ... hermeneutic afterword?

Gross phun for those of us that play with it with erroneous punctuation to give a sense of spectre to it ... isn't that a ghastly light?
 
Much of our common knowledge of history comes from newspapers and movies. And it's wrong. Remember all those movie and TV westerns in which the good guys and bad guys agree to settle their differences by the code of the west with a quick draw shootout, the two slowly walking until one of the goes for his gun?

It never happened. The quick draw shootout was invented for the early movies.

Then - how many times have you seen a black cowboy or a black of any sort in old movies? In fact, a high proportion of cowboys were black. Of course. Texas had been a slave state. Its pioneers were slave traders like Davy Crockett. most cowboy jobs were low level, low paying manual labour. Cowboying was often the only job a black could get.

Whose that man in the white suite ... a dark night in reality ... let the probing and curiosities run wild about: "what does that story mean?" Mani toush didn't care properly ... and it was lost to "M" that's the paradigm or the norm in an abnormal situation ... where we're at if you look about at the collected mess we're in ...
