Sure. But I don't consider it a relegation.
We have to move on, but we must never forget. Not Pearl Harbor, not 9/11, not the Rape of Nanking (various spellings...sooo many spellings) not The Battle of Britain, not Hiroshima, not the Battle of Hastings. All extremely important historical events. History is never a relegation. |

Ok when was The Alamo? When was The Maine attacked? The first World Trade Center bombing? You do know there was more than one bombing right? Just how much and for how long do I need to remember, and why?
What about the days WE attack others for no reason? Do you want THEM to remember? When they do we use words like "fanatic" to describe them. Hardly seems fair. Why remember? To keep ourselves vigilant? To get even? To stay angry? To keep historical perspective and perhaps learn from it? Again I'm not taking a position, just asking questions is all.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Why; because those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
You might as well ask, “Why visit the grave site of your parents? Move on, get over it.” “Why remember your children killed protecting their country?” “Why remember a fallen officer?” If all you have is questions, you should probably reflect on your questions until you have your own answers. |

I am not saying to forget. I am asking why remember.
Tom those are ALL very good reasons. BUT if revenge is a reason to remember then maybe it is not such a good thing.

By studying past experiences, from a pinched finger to a dropped object, to 3 Mile Island, we help keep ourselves, and each other safe. It's the same reason we study crash sites. The Lusitania is extremely important. |

Context only matters to those who can affect change. Sometimes. Nobody had forgotten about Germany when WW2 started.

We can change things to make them better by studying them. You are correct. Crash sites, battle formations, bridge foundations, etc. Or we can study them to figure out how to prevent them from happening again. Nuclear meltdowns, Commercial Airline hijackings, military coups, etc. I get the feeling you don't like history? |

I absolutely do like history.
I do not like remembering for revenge. Certainly you see the difference. I just am not explaining well.
