Those Who For Get History

“Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” so said George Santayana.

But, like most truisms if we look even farther back we find Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Said “Those who don’t know history are destine to repeat it!”

Today is the 69th university of the day Ann Frank started her famous diary.

Today when hate has displaced logic once more, today when the Jews are once again being offered up as sacrifice to the struggling, ignorant masses desperate to blame someone, anyone, but themselves for their troubles! Today we need to remember that horror from so long ago for every thing is inplace to repeat the nearly forgoten past!

Today is also the anniversary of John Wane’s death at in 1979.

I just did some thing I don’t normally do! I’m over posting my own blog.

Just an illustration is to look back at how quickly America has forgotten 9/11 and the evil that perpetrated it. People today are trying to legitimize ideologies that were behind the deed. Evil is just that. EVIL. Never forget!!

Gary,

It all depends on what they're readingwatching. The history channel boast they write history every day. I believe them so much of what they call history is fiction.

Ask 100 people under 40 what Nixon did you'll be lucky to get one correct answer.

Ask who killed Cock Robin and you'll find out Bush did!

One of the most amazing things I've seen lately was when Gene Simmons of KISS, this big tough rocker visited Anne Frank's home and was brought to tears! It was an amazing thing to see, getting in touch with what his mom and dad went through.

Todd,

I don't like his music. He looks better in make up. But, the man behind the greasepaint is fascinating!

Ann's is the most moving story of our youth. That Simmons was reduced to tears doesn't surprise me! That it doesn't reduce everyone to tears befuddles and scares me.

Bill I hope that you are wrong about this one. I know that Americans tend to have short memories, but to repeat what happened in Germany would be a complete lack of value for human life.

It should scare us that so many people not only followed this crazy man, but that hardly anyone did anything to stop it.

George,

"a complete lack of value for human life."

That is the problem! It's also the difference between the East and Liberals and the West and Conservative!

The igorant, mindless, irresponsible and indoctrinated are always looking for a scape goat. If the Jews did it or maybe George Bush did it they're victims with no personal responsibility for their problems.

The worst part is we keep returning to the same shameful behavior.
