I totally disagree, Kelvo. You just take for granted that all the people
recording history (read "his" "story") were totally nonbiased. I think
that's rarely possible. How many times have you fought with someone because
you had different versions of what happened...different versions of whose
fault something was...or we look at a color, and I call it purple and you say
blue...or I think someone is beautiful and you don't find her attractive at
all...or I say we evolved and you say no, God did it. Who's right? HIStory
is all about perspective. It's not called "her" story, now is it?
