Timelinks G5 History and Culture pages 12 - 13


History Past and Present.  If we don't learn from the past, then we are doomed to repeat it.  This is why I am always interested in learning history so that I can see how and why events happened before. Then I can learn from other's mistakes and not make the same mistake myself.
