Some seem to think the history of a country exists only in symbols and flags and monuments and street names and army base names. You one?

The history of a country exists in what happened when to whom and why. No symbols needed. No slogans.

That is where the "other" gets it so wrong. They try to rewrite history thinking that will change the recorded memory of it. It doesn't. Those who think it does are not thinkers. What are they? Beats me! ::((

    People have good forgeteries.  Unless they are continuously reminded of something they will eventually forget it.  No one can change history.  Oh, they try all the time.  One can lie about the past, ignore the past, or even try to say it never happened, yet no matter what people do, they cannot change the past.  What we need to do is learn from the past.  That way we won’t repeat the bad.

    Tearing down monuments or changing names won’t alter what happened in the past.  Nor will it stop it from happening again in the future.  One must know the ignorance of the past or they will be doomed to repeat it.

    "Forgeteries"? I was going to hug you for inventing that word but I looked it up just in case and guess what? FORGETTERY is in the dictionary! A new one on me and I thank you for it! Of course also thank you for the rest of your reply. I verbatimly agree with thee. I know. Shocking isn't it? Wonder what bunker boy plans to do today? I wonder how many folks will sign the waiver absolving bunker boy of any liability when they get ill from COVID 19 by attending his rallies? Can you believe people are THAT STUPID DUMB? Sheesh. It beats all doesn't it? Geez louise puhleez!

    No, I didn't coin that word.  In fact, I learned it in Sunday school a long time ago.

    It exists in collective memory and consciousness, as passed from generation to generation.
