[Northkeep] History lessons

[Anne Brewer]

What I would be truly afraid is to see what a comparable study of Americans would show... considering how much more dumbed-down our schools are and how much more TV average Americans watch... And that these are our movies and our directors... Or even more frightening, to do a survey of how many American believe the Washington and the apple tree story, or Jonny Appleseed, or Paul Bunyan?

That is just plain disturbing! Did you see at the bottom where it did a
listing of people and events and the percentage of people who did/did not
believe were real? 1% actually think Edmund Blackadder and Xena were real???
I LOVE Black Adder, but even I know he isn't real!!! That's just sad. I can
understand how people can be confused about King Arthur and Robin Hood...
those stories have been told for generations and EVERYONE knows the stories
there... so it is understandable that it can become unclear whether it is
fact or fantasy... but the rest are outrageous.
