It was a great movie. Thomas Crown, though, was the role he was born to play.

I know who Gramsci was. I don’t understand what you’re getting at with that quote.

It’s functionally impossible to assign whole books to middle schoolers. And don’t confuse what you learn in primary education with real study.

It’s pretty unlikely to get two more terms of a democratic presidency. Biden wasn’t VP when he won. The last VP to be elected was Bush 1. Before him, LBJ, special circumstances. Truman, also special circumstances. That takes us back nearly 100 years.

Maybe if Kamala were to step aside we could get a governor as the nominee, but that seems unlikely even though governors have better records in presidential elections. Biden didn’t run when he was VP, but I don’t remember another VP that stepped away from the ticket voluntarily.

I didn’t say school children, and I didn’t say all. I said it was necessary for anyone studying ww2. Here, that’s usually done in university.

It’s always worth putting your eyes on the primary source yourself. History texts are not without their own agendas. You’re familiar with 1984, yes?

Same reason to read anything.

I know. I was just adding extra info.

She’s not legendary, the way Achilles is. She was a real person.
