Hmm

I love history, and try to learn as much as I can about the past. The more we know about our past we can prevent such devastating atrocities such as the Holocaust of World War Two and currently the genocide occurring in Darfur, Sudan as we speak. But, how can we learn form history that isn't taught to us? I have never heard of the Armenian Genocide until this past week. How can a massacre 1.5 million people that occurred not nearly a century ago, not make it into the history books. It’s absolutely sickening to think that the history that is passed down to us is only the point of view and or events that our government wants us to know about. I guess it true to say the less educated we are the easier we are to control. I'm beginning to feel pretty ignorant of what is actually going on in world. Thank you for bring this to my attention; I’m going to do more research on this horrific event.
