I believe all students should have US as well as World History. Their comeback to me is always, we are installing new computers. Why buy them if you do not know where you come from, and they defiantly do not know where they are, and could not find their way to anywhere, or get back for that matter. Who was the smart person who said "if you do not know history, you are doomed to repeat it"? >> Mrs. MacKenzie said it to me many times as she belted ma poor wee hands to blisters, and said, "Ye'll come tae nae good you." I am constantly surprised now when I am in a store and the cashier says "That will $10.66 sir" I think of Willy The Conk, $13.20 Declaration of Arbroath etc. I am still not good at math's or money, but I have not invaded England or started a separation revolution. So she must have taught me something. Cheers Dave.
