The victors control the history,and unfortunatly America is very often the victor,we have bigger bombs.
We've skewed the entire history of the western hemisphere
We didnt invade Grenada to make Ronnie look tough after he cut and ran from Lebanon.
We did it because there were 30 cubans with power tools looking to bring down western civilization by building an airport
We didnt invade Panama to cover up a drug deal gone bad in the Iran Contra scandal
We did it to protect the western hemisphere from the dictator who two years earlier we praised for him helping us fight drugs
None of those "skewed histories" have been presented as facts to me, so you're wrong yet again. Why do you persist in making assumptions about my education? Have you ever been to a Canadian University, let alone the one I attend? Do you even know its name? They do not rely on standards set by the State of Texas. Not a single one of my texts were published there, I just looked at 6 of them. One was from NJ, one from NY, and one from Mass.;the others weren't even published in the States. You don't know jack shit about anything pertaining to my situation.
And the texts themselves are supplimental and selectively used to either support or contrast the teachings of the prof. What's contained in them is not necessarily indicative of what is being taught. Several of my professors frequently present different views of what is reported in certain parts of the texts anyways and several perspectives are almost always presented.
And please continue to tell me more about the obvious right-wing, revisionist bias of my liberal professors. Since you know so much about them and their positions, perspectives, and ideologies, why don't you start my giving me their names?
And while we're at it, since you're clearly omnipotent, what did I have for dinner last night?
