I have been searching for answers to our current problems quite a bit in the past couple years or so. I am convinced now, more than ever, that unless we know our history we are doomed to repeat it. I used to think this was a tired cliche, but it has won me over now. Nearly all of the problems that we are facing today have been faced before in our nation’s history in one form or another. We’d be wise to study our own history better because we are well into the process of repeating it all over again.
