In the past history has been written by the winners. This is a sad reality. The winners do not want to look like loosers so history is made to make them look like they were the justified and honorable in winning. In most cases nothing could have been farther from the truth.
Today it is even worse, with the losers re-witting history. We have gone so far down the path of ‘me and I’ that the truth and reality are bring replaced by ‘what is best for me’. If reality does not match what is desired then spread lies to make it true. We have become a nation the allows, even encourages, this. We learn not only from our parents and teachers, but from experience. The ‘American Experience’ today is that you can believe what ever best fits your goals. Lies can be truths as long as someone else agrees with them. This is the path straight into fascism and the end of democracy.

We become what we are taught. We learn from our parents and teachers. But we also learn from experience. Those who put their own rights above all otheres have learned the lies can be made to replace the truth.
