RE: Dead Poem's Society, Week Two, Contest and Community Building

First off, you're a boss for being able to pronounce all of those names so fluidly! And yes, I always think about how stupid humans are. We fight, and burn the libraries/art of the conquered; we have to keep reinventing the wheel . And even though we now have volumes of examples of how "we" (the pupils of the history writers) didn't realize how advanced such and such a civilization was and are now just rediscovering evidence blah blah blah, we STILL talk about other cultures with the same disdain as ol' Alex had for Barbarians . Its ridiculously frustrating haha

I completely agree with your sentiments on this issue.
