Nu ger jag upp på att plugga historia. Jag tänker leva i illusionen att det enbart går ut på att man låter säker. Dessutom, The wonderful Wizard of Oz har inte fel:

Where I'm from, we believe all sorts of
things that aren't true. We call it - "history."

A man's called a traitor - or liberator
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?
It's all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't exist
