The Legacy of History (IX)

( I always find the last section of this article depressing... )

It's just one of those things: it's perfectly accurate, but since it doesn't suggest that there's anything we can do (read it, you'll see) it's not exactly happy-making. Or, more accurately, I'm happy that someone out there besides myself and you here recognizes these things--and publishes about them--but it just ends on such a melancholy note. :(
