“History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there.” — George Santayana
(Even if this wasn’t said tongue-in-cheek it’s not necessarily wrong. As I’ve said on a number of occasions, history was always my favorite subject. It’s like story time! But, I’ve grown to acknowledge that history is the most subjective of all the academic disciplines. Even my history professor buddy cannot dispute this, as we frequently disagree on numerous historical issues. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Attaboy, roy! We should be able to remember history, even when much of it is . . . less than accurate. — YUR
