Are you one of those guys who think that history is just some dust under the rug? Don’t you know that history is a living, breathing thing, changing as fast as the culture allows?
Time to pick up the carpets, give them a good shake and clean house!
Yea! Just like the "living, breathing constitution". All those shades of grey....... with apologies to the Grateful Dead.
Philosophy of History I can handle. This new fangled counterfactual history I just find silly. After all, if someone from today went back in a time machine and shot Adolf Shickelgruber’s mother before he was born, we wouldn’t have had Mein Kampf.
Or if the French had listened to Wilson and not been so vindictive in their demand for German reperations, then Walter Rathenau wouldn’t have needed to engineer hyper-inflation thus destituting the German middle classes.
It just doesn’t end.
