August.<BR/><BR/>I absolutely agree with you about the study of history. I am thoroughly enjoying Scott Powell's classes!SBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13699468585645166392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20943181.post-63856643795440526822008-04-08T20:36:00.000-04:002008-04-08T20:36:00.000-04:00What a great and creative integration! This is why I'm really enjoying studying history -- especially through Scott Powell's classes -- because disconnected facts and partial ideas that I've had for years suddenly coalesce into new insights like this.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this.<BR/><BR/>And LB, that Ed Cline post on the New Pyramid Builders was chilling. The US isn't even selling its soul. The mainstream thinkers and politicians are actively giving it away. This type of thing sometimes makes me project into the future and guess what rational historians of the future will say about what's happening to America right now, and it just makes me shake my head in shame. Melodramatic, yes, but sadly true.C.
