The sad truth is, there are alot of people in this world who dont have an understanding, interest, nor care in history. There are people in this country who
- do not know what july 4th is about other then beer and fireworks.
- when the civil war was or why it was fought
- what war nazi's were fought against in.
the list goes on. It truly is sad. My own spouse is guilty of all of the above. "I just don't get this history stuff" she tells me. *sigh* I schitt you not, one 4th of july, i had to print out an entire phamplet for her and her family and closest friends becuase NONE of them knew what the 4th of july is really about. Suffice to say, the USS Ling's in great peril. Historical ignorance is the becoming the norm from what ive seen in my own daily life with the people around me.
