History (Arts & Humanities) - July 2006

So you have arguably the most vile being in human history ruling your country with an iron fist, starting wars on a global scale and imprisoning people left and right whilst launching the largest genocide known to man. Even with the vast propaganda network, someome had to realize what was going on. Did anyone try to actually do something about it and kill Hitler? If so, who were they? How were they stopped and why did they fail?

Why isn't there more responsibility of teaching more about Historical facts to younger generations ?

I've recently started to read more about History. I'm a lady of 50 and now wonder why schools never in the past, made History more mandatory or presented it in a more interesting light. I believe if our young people paid more attention to truth in History , when future generations grew up and became world leaders, they would learn to make less mistakes by what they learned from our past. I now understand a lot more about life in general by reading as much as I can about World History. Schools in 1960's and 1970's did not seem to encourage students to pay attention to historical information. Of course the T.V. media was new in the 1940's and commercial broadcasting was in its beginning stage after the war, and younger generations were targeted for being sold to by any means possible. Today in 2006 we have super highways of information zooming at us with high technology and most information is false sales tactics. I feel sorry for the future generations that depend on our tarnished media, that is polluting the young minds of the world and can bring only future problems.

how to stop a city from tearing down historical buildings?

i live in quincy ill. it's a a small city only abot 55,000 give or take. but here lately they have been taering down alot of the historical buildings in the town. like the old court house that was built in the early 1800's was tore down to build a gas station. and an old plantion style house was tore down. just so the the dumb golf course could build nine more holes. and they are starting to tear down allot of the river front property that was used to unload steam boats. and one house is where jooseph smith stayed when he crossed over from missori before he went to navoo. i don't know what the historic society is doing. they seam more interrested in saving any thing that has joghn woods name on it. so is there any thing i could do to start saving these old buildings from the wrecking ball? i'm all for progress in this town but not at the price of our land marks to do it.

ps here is some info on quincy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy%2C_Illinois
