Right on, lostkitty. I too hope for the revival of the Renaissance Man.

I went to the Getty Villa with a friend this past Monday. They have wonderful exhibits of Greco-Roman artifacts. There’s a big map of ancient Greece and Turkey on the wall, but only Greece was clearly labeled. A white man and his son had no idea what the area of the Black Sea (Turkey, Romania and Ukraine) were.

I meet so many people, supposedly Christians, who don’t even know the history of Christianity and the history of Judeo Christian values they are so proud of. They just know to show up in Church and sing.
