People usually say we study history so we can learn from

our past mistakes. But any serious study of history shows that we don't learn much

-

we keep doing the same dumb

things time and time again. The real reasons we take history are to gain a better understanding of human

her to quit her job and stay home to be with me.

I know moms with jobs have less time to play with

family can have a better future. We should
