Hound,
- I like most of your posts; but sometimes I'm confused.
-Like I'm a little confused by your line of reasoning above; you said something like ---'I didn't know these men', ....and then how you ended teh post, ---"I can only go by my experience in "modern" times. "
-Did you really mean that? You usualy sound like a well educated person who stayss fairly well informed. But if people only went by their own experiences ...or only learned from their own experiences, we'd make very little progress, either as a person, as a people, or as a nation.
-to paraphrasae another great mind, we make progress on the shoulders of giants, ---in this case the fopunding fathers. Our education is suppose to make us cognizant not only of what they did, but how they did it, and more importantly why they did it. ...we get to know them through education, formal and informal.
-to not learn from our history, or from our culture, or from others' successes and failures, but only from our own experiences, is to miss out on alot.
