I've been glued to the History Channel all night watching "The World Wars". I've probably learned more tonight than I did all through school. To be honest (and I hate to admit this), I always hated history (as well as Social Studies) in school. I was a whiz at math and the sciences ... but history bored me to tears. I held good grades, but it was through memorization and cramming for tests. It meant nothing to me and I didn't retain much of anything. I think teacher's obsessions with specific dates is what I hated most, but I generally disliked most anything to do with history. Sure, I learned the basics and have always had general knowledge of history, but until tonight, I never had the desire to "fill in all the blanks". If they'd had the History Channel when I was in school ... showed this special ... then discussed each segment ... I may have become a true history buff. Congrats History Channel ... you've converted (and educated) me! I actually can't wait until tomorrow's program.
