Hi Scott:
Yes, history is critical to understanding today. If you ever would like to submit an article to us at Right Side News, please do so.
I really enjoyed reading through your site, Scott. I especially liked the sections on history through Art and the section on your Heroes. I think you chose them well, especially Aristotle and Ayn Rand.
I frequently receive links to the same Powell History commentary. Eg, Ive received links to your Mar16 comments several times.
Sorry, I have no idea why that is. It must be a WordPress software issue, but I can’t think of anything I could do about it.
