    I wonder what’s going to happen to the stuff?

    All opinions of historical events aside, I love history as a reminder of how things were and how things have changed; how they can happen again or should be again. All history is very important.

    Opinions included though; all history is important, especially the bad stuff. I don’t like the redaction of bad history for being “offensive”, it just shouldn’t be esteemed, so excessive redaction on the side of victors or losers are not good… It is so important that all societies are reminded of their past mistakes, especially when they appear to be repeating. There is a balance between pride and shame that we need to present history with so that it is not mistakingly lost or mistakingly glorified, just observed.

    So, I hope the stuff is not forgotten and buried.
