Most people that pay attention to history already know this, lol.

i agree but i don't think many people know or care about history. whats the old saying "learn from history or repeat the mistakes" I just thought it interesting that in 1770 they had 50,000 people trying to collect one tax, They had lots of other taxes.

I would be willing to bet that at least 70% of high school seniors would not be able to give you 5 things about the french revolution and not much better on the american revolution. SAD BUT TRUE
