I am amused by the hype given to the Magna Carta, an agreement among
the oligarch on how the turkey would be carved.

In what year was The Magna Carta signed?? 1215 Why do I recall this
fact?? 12:15 was when History Period started in Grade Six!! ;-P

That turned me off history until my later years. I love looking at the big picture and how it all comes together but elementary school teachers
favored tests they could easily grade and dates were as black and white as
it gets. They also had a very tight focus. What else was happening in the world in 1215? What was Frederick II up to? How about the Danes?

Yes, I also hated dates.

I'm vague enough about dates in my own lifetime let alone the world in
general. My ex is much better at them. Either women keep notebooks or
they're attuned to dates. I do remember her birthday, in part since I use
it for those nosy sites that want a birthday. That's good for a laugh when
I get a Happy Birthday email.

Be more cynical. You were supposed to remember
a handful of dates - with poor/no context -
so the school system could CLAIM you'd been
"educated". That's how bureaucracies, esp with
union labor, work.

Actual quality education - no No NO ! That'd
be too much WORK. Appearances are enough.

Welcome to degenerative Western Civ ...

It's doom.

But for some high-up, that's the whole IDEA.

Hey, the West/USA is THE WORST thing in 15,000
years of history, right ???

I apologize to the several million people with the same birthday... I
usually fudge the year anyway.
