Re: Great, More Ammo For The Cap Arguments said by knightmb:I always loved history in school and that's why the common phrase " those that don't know history, always repeat the same mistakes" applies to people that don't bother to learn it. I believe the quote should read: "those who fail to learn history (or are ignorant of history) are doomed to repeat it".
Honestly I feel we're doomed to repeat history regardless of our knowledge simply because it is human nature to seek power over others and to control the general population. But you can always delay the inevitable for a generation or two before people get soft and think to themselves "oh, that couldnt happen nowadays, not to us." then... Dictatorship again. |
