but now, approaching 70, I realize all I did was *read* about history. I didn't study it to understand the nuances. I'm thinking it's time to pick up major points of history and read how others freed their countries, etc. We've never been faced with anything like this admin, it's time to gain new knowledge and understanding and pass it on to the young ones, if they'll listen.
