We all know history repeats itself. Witness the recurring examples of wars, crusades, genocides, catastrophic events, etc. Much of history is relegated to gorgeous old, leather books with gold lettering and long-winded names like A History of the Rebellion with annotations as Told by the Earl of Sandwich and commented on by Rothchilde while he unwound under a Yew tree. Phew, I made that up, but trust me, I've seen some doozies on those reference shelves in the library!
With the invention of radio, tv, and the internet, we no longer have to rely solely on the printed word, but can also do a rewind and hear & see events in modern history. Thus we have seen Kennedy repeat seemingly over and over again, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Ditto with Roosevelt's, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Well, click on the Link in this blog post to see & hear a blast from the past of Dick Cheney. Ironic or prophetic?
The video was posted last Friday & YouTube apparently pulled it after all the uproar it raised. Hmm, are they RED-faced. Here it is in case that link "fails": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEsZMvrq-I.
