Shhh! We went to a Mormon baptism yesterday, and then later we had dinner with the parents, and my wife mentioned that she was taking a history class at the local college, and the father of the young boy that was baptized into the Mormon faith (he’s 8, and it was his “choice”) said that he thought she was probably being indoctrinated.
Shhhhh!
Piece of Mindful 
Let me guess: your wife is learning that the slave trade was a way for Africa to colonize the New World; that American Indians seized upon European immigration to negotiate generous welfare benefits for themselves; that poor people are a leisure class supported by taxpayers.
But being Boulder, I’m sure they spend class time burning flags and self-flagellating while denouncing American hegemony.

I was going for some dry humor. I must work on it.
I’m sure the study of history in Boulder involves wearing special underwear and organ music.

I was just listening to the radio the other day concerning Teddy Roosevelt and a book out now that claims that he urged the Japanese to move onto mainland China when he was president, which eventually led to WWII. And I wondered, if something that major is not uncovered by historians for over 90 years, what chance is there that the history of Europe has any credibility.
Anyway, she is studying European history – through all the bloody centuries leading up to WWII, when they finally decided they had had enough.

Roosevelt…urged
Interesting, but I can’t imagine that weighing too heavily with the Japanese. One sheet from a huge stack does not a modus make.

Yeah – I gotcha. I want to read that book – is there enough time in life?
