Losing all of my memories, and therefore proof that I've lived, to hereditary dementia.

When I'm on my deathbed, I'm absolutely sure I won't be thinking about work.

History classes in the US are patriot washed to convince soon to be laborers that they're living in the greatest country to ever possibly exist.

I get it in the past because the information was simply not accessible for most people. Nowadays there is no excuse for ignorance. It takes a 5 minute google search to get a taste of the inhumanity of history. Everyone should be willing to put in at least 5 minutes man.

Almost all of the WW2 vets are gone man. I worry that the far right resurgence around the world is being allowed to happen because people are simply ignorant to the horror of WW2. I remember talking to someone younger than me about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. He didn't seem to think much of the Holocaust which I found disturbing. I started bringing up the numbers and I could see the shock in his face. He genuinely didn't seem to grasp just how many people were murdered because of fascism.

I had a Scottish chick in Edinburgh tell me that I was the only American she enjoyed talking to. I didn't realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas until I went myself.

Luigi is an American hero. Whether he did it or not is irrelevant. It's what he stands for.
