I say that you are ignoring the hard-learned lessons of history.
This is completely not true. I am already fully occupied with ignoring the hard-earned lessons of organic chemistry, pharmacology and human physiology. There are only so many lessons I can ignore at once. The roads that all lead to Rome weren't built in a day, you know.

Well, I'm not surprised, given the level of anti-intellectualism in modern life.
Some rush to snap judgements, hastily and foolishly blaming television and trash culture.
As an educated man, I blame Sam Cooke.

Curiously, I used to like that song a lot when doing my history deegree.

Just a quick tip: Each B3tan has an individual profile, handy for creator-specific link credits.

As a easily-distracted doofus, I blame Sam Fox.
Would you rather side with the forces of freedom, or cravenly lick the boots of totalitarians?
I have just been filing my patent application for the concept of novelty boot-shaped ice lollies. Train the young-'uns early to accept their subservient status.

Our granddads could tell us what happened to their breakfasts the last time Britain tried to mollify totalitarians.
We've all watched the old news-reels. Chamberlain at the door of the plane from Munich, greeting the reporters, waving a piece of paper that listed the names of 205 known communists currently working in the State Department...
Something like that, anyway.

First they came for the late-running court service workers who was stuck with stale Weetabix, and I did not speak up....

the better to batter any fascists
Another example of the unhealthy Scottish diet.
Chamberlain's piece of paper was really the menu he intended to impose as a New Model Breakfast.

How wrong you are, Herr Doktor - that was Senator Joe MacCarthy, and I believe he was worried about the large amount of Communist liquor cabinets in the State Department.
True to style, he emptied every last one.

Leon Trotsky was a communist licker; he gave Frida Kahlo's flanged valley a right going over. You can tell because her cheeks are always flushed in her self portraits.

There are crappy puns to be made about "a piece in your time" but someone else can make them.
