Doomed to repeat

Dave Budge has an interesting post about the importance of history. For some reason, the comments on his site are almost impossibly hard to read, so I will make my own brief comment here:

Sean Hannity's "Man on the Street" interviews this week included an interview with a kindergarten teacher who identified:

1. World War I as the war that won America's independence.

2. Abraham Lincoln as the author of the Declaration of Independence.

Abandon hope.
