“ Jay had studied the bloody history of Europe.”

It is amazing how each generation seems to forget the lessons of the past, or tries to argue that “this time it will be different.”

Thanks for reminding us Scott.

I worry that the less we teach history and civics, the greater our collective historical ignorance becomes. Vigilance is our best tool.

Today’s essay reminds me of Senator Paul Wellstone from Minnesota who said “we all do better when we all do better.” We seem to learn the lesson over and over again, one generation to the next. Thanks again for this series!
