TMc: Obsolete History | Eastern NC Now

We celebrate specific wars for 50 years afterward: until most of the veterans have passed on. West Point students skim over the battles and weapons of past wars but concentrate on the new drones and laser killing machines available today.

    We celebrate specific wars for 50 years afterward: until most of the veterans have passed on. West Point students skim over the battles and weapons of past wars but concentrate on the new drones and laser killing machines available today. Civilians however want to concentrate on our Irish Slave or Cherokee Trail of Tears stories long after the forefathers passed away.

    What useful purpose does history have in my world? Does it make my life easier? Does it solve problems? Does it feed the poor? Does a History Degree result in a better job than Engineering?

    Conclusion: History is an amusement and should not sow discord among brethren.

I guess we just have to assume that each new owner will rename places to a more suitable name of their time and culture. We did when we took it from the Indians, They probably did when they took it from the whomever, we named our streets and parks after our beloved Confederates and now the urban communities are renaming things to fit their history. To me names are not the important things, it is the lessons that should have been learned, but "C'est la vie" say the French. I guess I will just have to get used to Ho Chi Minh City formerly knows as Saigon.
