It does catch me up short when people who I consider well-educated show both a lack of knowledge of and a concern for history.

As someone with a miserable head for details, I can certainly find wiggle room for the under-informed aspects, but a lack of concern for history, a belief that it has no bearing...that is as close to a sin in my world as I think you can get.

My best friend in high school was very fond of the saying that history is doomed to repeat itself because you didn't listen the first time.
