Doug,

>I like the documentaries as well though even they tend to be a little slanted.
well, i think even many history books are slanted!!

>Right. I dislike the Oliver Stone 'type' rewrites which push some position that usually boils down to a rewrite of the facts and history. Ugh.. Spare me. <g>

i can sometimes enjoy them, as a view of a 'possible reality.'


>Sure, but the scary thing is that there are people who actually gat their civic lessons through this stuff. When I grew up we actually were expected to know the facts.

yep, that is true. just like people who believe that if you read it (in a book/newspaper?), it must be true.
