Talk about a group unwilling to learn from history! And thanks to the massification of non-education, this blindness has spread to every corner of our land.

Tonight the city council of my town, Gainesville, FL, is planning to vote for a "peace resolution." Naturally, I'm planning on showing up and telling them what I think, although my main point will be simply that it is totally inappropriate for a group of elected officials, paid with my tax dollars, to use their position as a forum for expressing their personal opinions about something entirely outside of their competency and the purpose for which they were elected.

I also plan to mention Chamberlain, but sadly enough, I suspect that most of them will merely wonder what basketball has to do with international affairs.
