We may not always agree. The beauty of disagreement is being able to ask ourself why we disagree. Which invariably leads to sometimes seeing a truth that we've never thought about which can lead to a change of mind.
Beautifully said, Mavis, if you allow.
Dear aunties, uncles, sisters, brothers, girls and boys,
I am interested in history, NOT, I repeat, NOT in the slightest in 'alternative' history, or worse, 'alternative' 'histories', plural (shudder).
Surely, this is an approach easy enough to grasp. After all, the reason most of us are here is, that we want to know what
actually, really and truly happened, because we all had a gutful of actual 'alternative' history.
Now that we've established that, it is only a comparatively small step to realise that according to the above example, somebody on here using the term 'alternative history' to express the desire to find out the truth has it backwards.
Another example (this is funny, because I told someone off for referencing joolywood, and now, I'm doing it; only, I
am actually proving something, other than the guy I told off):
In
Shawshank Redemption, there is a scene with two (phantastic, in my irrelevant opinion) female singers giving a rendition of a part of Mozart's
Le Nozze di Figaro. Naturally, they're singing words, as opposed to 'lalala', but we hear the 'narrator' babble something of the girls singing about something so beautiful, that it can't be put into words!?! And the 'beautiful' thing they were singing about revolved around a motif of adultery, or so I've read, but forgot where.
I can't remember to whom this one was attributed (probably a freemason):
"Muddy language makes for muddy thinking, and vice versa."
And if it was the devil himself who said that, he'd still be right.
How about this one from joolywood then: in one of the
Wimpy Kid films, in a setting: 2 parents, their 14-ish year old son and a friend of the same age, they play 'I love you, because...' (which never existed anywhere in the real world at any time, I'm prepared to bet), and the son ends up saying to his mother: "I love you, because you help me keep my body clean." Incest with minors anybody?
So much for joolywood, the 'entertainment industry' (entertainment: method of time-killing sought by those actively idling) at large, myself, and my approach to language.
Ending up here in the first place was the result of me websearching 'Kammeier', to see how the publication of my translation of his works on archive.org was received. Then, I 'dumped' them here as well.
Never even knew that there was an 'SH1' before arriving here.
Kammeier is a good starting point to explain what interests me about stolenhistory.net. I consider his works qualified for mandatory secondary education, anywhere in the world.
Thanks for having me.
