I won't tell right now. I'm curious whether the younger generation knows any early American colonial history? My grandchildren in school are probably told more about which hollywood celeb visited a OWS ghetto last month than how and why their country was started. *********************************** You are right about that. In my field, one is lucky if they've heard of Shakespeare. The names Milton, Spencer, Dryden, Fielding, Austen, and Dickens or Horace and Vergil, etc. are uknown to most. Lindsey
