A rare post from a relatively quiet subscriber.

There is a documentary called: Europa - The Last Battle It is in ten parts and is rather lengthy historical documentary. It has been well worth my time so far (I have not yet completed it)

This will shed a lot of light in where we have been for the last 160 years and how we got to where we are. I was not exposed to a significant portion of this information in any realm of my official education.

Draw your own conclusions from the information presented.
