I concur. The problem I see is that when a lot of
people talk about history, it seems to be in terms of
"my history", "your history", and they tend to bend
history to fit their agendas. Call me naive, but I
believe that history is about the way it WAS - the
facts - not any persons perspective on it. I don't
get to rewrite it just because it reflects on "my
people" in a way other than I would like.
