Throw your post about assimilation at me. I have nothing better to do right now than play Star Wars Battlefront and watch it snow, yes snow, yuk. >:( I thought we were done with snow but we are supposed to get almost six inches today and tomorrow. Kemnath, Germany (Bayern). At least the foot or so we had on the ground melted in the last few weeks.

ParticipantOn the other hand… so good that I bought it twice; ol'timers kicking in I guess but worth it (from what I remember having read it once already, I think)! A Patriot's History of America

ParticipantOh Wally–you vex me so!Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Glenn Beck's Recommended ...Feb 18, 2010 ... I think it's a must read for every American. But I was looking, I was checking ... for daring to write a real critique of American history writing. ... I do not suggest that the Patriot's History is a perfect book or it ...

ParticipantCertainly not my intent; just supplying an alternative to Zinn's POV.Beck like everyone else, is only wrong all the time if one doesn't listen to what he has to say carefully. I agree he can be daunting to listen to but no one is always wrong... even if we don't agree it may be possible that we are wrong. Vex mod off.

ParticipantAn alternative you supplied–noted (takes pill). History should always be challenged.I have never listened to or read anything Mr. Beck ever said. I cannot.My problem is that when I look at him I have a feeling of revulsion as he looks exactly like a man inmy neighborhood when I was a child. The man was a child molester. The problem is mine and i make no assertion about Mr. Beck--it is just a combination of his looks and my historical inclination.

ParticipantI think Joyce Appleby has some good survey books out.

ParticipantINDEED–Just finished her book on Capitalism–factual, concise, objective, well written and balanced–a joy to read. It is best read with a glass of red wine and an apple.
