I was first exposed to "Mach" in world literature class in high school, then in college.

The high school exposure was boring, mainly because it was after an exaustive disection of Dante's Hell, the teacher was uninspiring, and graduation was near. I also remember that the teach had us copy The Discourses from her copy into our notes.(so in a sense, I have felt your pain. ;-))

My college Professor on the otherhand was a riot, and I have him to thank for a lot of my Weltanschauung(world view)

The sad thing is I can remember her name, but not his. There's a message there for all you educators...be boring and they will remember just your name...be interesting and they will remember what you taught them and maybe your name....(his name may comeback to me if I think on it long enough.)

Thanks for you efforts to make this a permanent part of FR, I'll put a link to the thread on my FR profile page.

"Mach" was the ultimate political historian, and therefore also the ultimate political prophet.

Well Said. If you go to my profile page you will find links to the other quotations I have posted. I'll also add you to the bump list for future such posts.
