    Wandering around on the web and found this little gem.

    Depressing, no? I know people who don't know that kind of stuff, and don't care because "I knew it when I was in high school and I needed to know it, but it's not important information."

    *sigh* This falls into the same catagory as "Alamo? what's that? Republic of Texas? there was never a Republic of Texas!" Things like this make be want to cry, or at least beat people over the head with history textbooks.

    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    "...Another 5 percent think we rose up against the Canadians on July 4, 1776."

    Still laughing about that.....

    Obviously finding such a depressing article is your punishment for wandering the web instead of working :P
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    Not many of us are left who lived through the Great Depression. History is quickly forgotten or never learned. We are now probably doomed to repeat history as once again vast wealth is in the hands of the very few.
