Re: Friday hmmmm...



Historical revisionism is nothing more than rewrites that reflect
contemporary ideas about events. They are subjective and biased, and must be
read, as all historical writing should, with a critical eye.

By the way: Shoe is one of the best comic strips (in addition to Boonedocks,
Foxtrot, and Doonsbury) in print today.

SHOE is a comic featuring birds working at a newspaper.  A recent exchange
went something like this:

editor:  History is written by the winners.
reporter:  Then what do the losers write?
editor:  The excuses.

Any comments???
