maybe because you only have a history of 'bout 500 years and you
personally don't see the fine details in history?

Well there we go...Americans can't understand history given our short
existence.

Though last time I checked most of us came from places with recorded
histories.

Thank The Creator that we decided to drop the finer points of history
so prevalent in those much more refined and elderly countries -- finer
things such as class, caste, deference, stasis, putrefaction, rum,
sodomy, and the lash.
