 -=> Quoting John Wilson to Curtis Johnson <=-

 JW> I veer close to accepting Henry Ford's "History is bunk"...but
 JW> never so much that I cease my enjoyment of reading it....
 
 CJ>  Of course, Ford <thought> that the real meaning for much of history
 CJ> could be found in the infamous _Protocols of the Elders of Zion_,

 JW> Interesting stuff.

	I've read it, and it's _hilarious_ stuff.  Of course, I do
have the luxury of not being one of the group it was aimed against.

 JW> I guess that it's a case of `MY view of history is not bunk' ...:-)

 JW> I find it really amazing: everyone *else's* view of history (AND Art,
 JW> philosophy, religion, politics and music) is all screwed up.

	I've been wandering through some eschatology links, and the
secret of everything is apparently that the "Grays" (ETs reported
by "abductees") are getting things ready for the Anti-Christ.
	And all this time I thought Frederic Brown had revealed it
all in a short story I read as an impressionable youth, where the
key to everything was the manipulation of mankind as pawns in the
eternal war between red and black ants.
	Except for the couple of years when I thought Mack Reynolds
had it on the money where all of human history had been manipulated
by a time traveler just to gain the enormous amounts of funds necessary
to get the tremendous amount of energy to go back in time, so he
could manipulate human history to gain the enormous amounts of funds. . .
	Don't you dare reify any of that!
