And yes, my history jumped straight from Thanksgiving to the Revolution, except for the witch trials too (and we live on the opposite end of the country...). But I, like you, have studied what happened in between. I think we comfort ourselves by saying, "oh, yeah, that was THEM. We're not like THEM." But, apparently, we're just going around in circles.Brillighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694582598855276158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-35945104347906099292007-11-21T23:36:00.000-05:002007-11-21T23:36:00.000-05:00To write my story for jen's Writing Game that was ...To write my story for jen's Writing Game that was posted Monday, November 12th, I did research on the American colonies. Slavery, indentured servants, so many had to pay the price of getting the colonies up and running just to be able to have a union. And yet, so little of that truth has been taught in the schools--we all should know the price independence and our economy has taken, at WHO'S expense!<BR/><BR/>I would have a gloomier outlook if I hadn't read the end of the Bible, and by faith receive there may well be a mess now, but good does win out.Wholly Burblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999272388164733321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-57044033167870844062007-11-21T20:20:00.000-05:002007-11-21T20:20:00.000-05:00I love unplanned coordinated rants!

But it didn't go into a lot of gory details.

But you're right, I don't know if I have it in me right now to read about more atrocities we've committed.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I really do feel like humans are just parasites gone amock, and that we were never meant to be here this long.
