I've always loved history. I suppose growing up a dozen miles from the Alamo had something to do with it. I majored in it.

Now, I see all of these different videos on every kind of history imaginable and I absolutely love it. I can only imagine my parents' reaction if we had them then--they thought I spent too much time reading. With videos, I would have been a totally hopeless nerd, that's what I would have been, lol.

There are quite a few good history podcasts, and I find more all the time. It sure beats watching nothing but politics, that's for sure.

I'm all for these informative videos. When seeing the series on the history of the U.S. from Oliver Stone, I noticed his use of a lot of the graphics from the past which appear in these films. So, you go, my friend and make America see history (MASHA) !

OB, this is a GOOD decision. This is precisely what Mr. & Mrs. America lacks, and I include myself in that category, which is why your history class would supplement what I obviously missed during a Pinellas County Junior High through High School curriculum!

Very good. My feelings best expressed in the words of the ledes to every sstack on my feed: t Olympics begin( Beginn) Contra Bismarck on Whether I shld become a gay prstitute...um, Racket News, What Are the Chances of a Civil war? Kamalot, Shkamalot and more, Paul Street saying 4 Disgusting Happenings ...all of which goto appreciating the trenchance of this video. Proud of the polite souls in the Racket video this week in protests, easy to be proud, but look at that footage, flows as well as Adam Curtis's big mash ups. A police , young, coffee fuelled jumping out of the bushes hammering on the nozzle of some pepper. Kamala spewing bile , in less than 5 words giving the apparati permission

To prosecute with prejudice. And the protestors were not non violent, but they were satiric, fabulous absolutely in showing unmistakable signs of life. History is a purified kind of water, like you could say: the UN did our job here, but the N World order allows for trying anything once, and then gathering pratfall footage to show that UN troops were obnoxiously oitgunned everywhere next they were deployed. If that had the appearance of truth, the quest'n would point to our Vietnow, on guess, that I too didnot learn the Viet lesson that local genius can outman so called total operational understandings. Long live Cuba anyway.
