Do you know that our forefathers had their hands in the history books in their own time? They decided what to say about themselves and what not to say about themselves in public education. This is exactly why history is a speculative subject matter, there are no reliable sources for history and that's human nature. Everybody has their own agenda and thereby everybody will broadcast only what they wish others to know while leaving out the other details. Religions, of course, get away with murder and pedophilia when it comes to doing this sort of thing, perhaps Pheedm would like to go there huh? Of course phreedm is right about that, but who cares?

I’m sure “he-who-shall-not-be-named” will be disappointed that you actually fixed this. I’m sure he would like to believe that this mistake was a deliberate attempt to re-write history to our benefit.

AARRGGHH!! I HATE seeing HWSNBN mentioned right in the post!
