I love this post! I'm glad you commented on my post and if would discover your blog. You writing style is very smooth and enjoyable to read. Plus your choice in topics are also thought provoking, I have been told many times that it's the winners who wrote history. But until now I have never realised the irony in the that statement “wrote” history. Your absolutely right, which would make since why anytime people tried to force a quick culture change they targeted the written material and flow of information. I will always question anyone who tells me not to read something. It's the free flow of information that alows us to constantly grow.
