Why Glasnost ??? You switch sides back then ??I am looking at one right now.... you ever heard the term dumber than a box of rocks???Have you ever seen the word "absurd"? Do you know what it means? An example would be to claim someone said something they never said or making false conclusions on what you mistakenly think he meant. That is exactly what you are doing in your above reply. Of course, if you are intentionally making false statements about what I said that is called something else. "Lying" maybe?so only history you think is important should be remembered,??Let me make this perfectly clear.when I said those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it,,,and you said that didnt make sense,,,
now you want us to remember history so we dont repeat it,,,
WTF???
* Did John Adams say that? Yes. It is part of history? Yes. Is it interesting to know what he said? Maybe yes, maybe no. It's up to you. Does what he said have any bearing or does it lend any credibility to today's situation? No. So history is only interesting/important to those who think it is and whether or not it is still relevant today is another matter entirely.
* Vietnam. We were discussing facts of the history of the Vietnam War. If you ask or make a statement about Vietnam I assume you are interested. I happen to have a great deal of knowledge on the Vietnam War but if you don't want to know that's your business.
Oh, and I never said I "want us to remember history so we dont repeat it". That is a lie.
sorry all of history both good and bad is important whether you think so or not,,,
