What Happens to History

I.
The most politically aware
Person I know

Never heard of

The Hungarian Revolution.

II.
While I was watching
A 13 yr old boy—
Same age as I was –
Throw himself on a tank
On tv

She’d heard of
the Russian Invasion of Hungary :

So much for the revolution.

Peter, there are many "aware" people who are ignorant of whole sections of the world. What about Tibet, Bosnia, Sudan? The shift of global power from the traditional democracies of the west to the not so democratic powers of the east will become the history of the 21st century. Our friend Terry could tell us more about this angry world.

I still look for the old cowboy when I come here. btw, she's not particularly 'ignorant' about anything, which was why I was surprised that she had a different take on 1956 from mine.

Thanks for dropping by, Les.

avanti,

Peter
