I think in today's culture not enough people take the time to learn for history. They often only know only a few figures but have no idea what those figures are about. One example is the Che shirts: They are popular among young yuppies who have no idea what he was about but on the flip side I doubt most of the people calling him a murderer have any clue as to what Che did either.
You know they say we should learn from history or we are bound to repeat it. Well it seems to me that no one is taking this important aphorism seriously. People today are just caught up in a culture that doesn't value the past. This culture is like a cancer on the brain but I must digress.
We need to encourage family, friends, even people we don't know that well to value the past. Have them avoid revisionist history that is so common today. Maybe if we are lucky people will actually look at what Hitler did and avoid calling everyone they disagree with "Hitler".
Anyways here are some interesting history/news pages:
