you could spend a whole year on that kind of endeavor but i'm still not sure where it gets you in the end other than "absolute power corrupts absolutely, and there have been a lotta dictators willing to kill a lot of their citizens to hold on to it"

I'm more thinking college here, but I guess I was only required to take two college history classes -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 5, 10:47 2
- We had no required courses in college except writing. We had to take courses from different areas (like history) but had flexibility within them. -- nm - Dano Jun 5, 11:14 1
  - We had a general education curriculum that every major took. Can't recall if it was set by the school or the state -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 5, 11:31
