ON HISTORIANS
*************************************
The credibility of historians, even the best
among them, has been questioned by fellow
historians since the beginning of historiography.
Herodotus, “the father of historians,” has also
been called “the father of lies.” More recently,
Arnold J. Toynbee, one of the greatest historians
of the 20th Century, has been dismissed as “a
prophet of mumbo jumbo.” And consider the case of
Edward Gibbon (1737-1794): in his universally
acclaimed DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE,
he portrays Romans as the good guys and
Christians as the villains. To say that Armenian
historians are more trustworthy than Herodotus,
Gibbon, and Toynbee is to certify our status as
perennial dupes.

On the radio this morning
I heard a woman define a great lover
as “a man who makes love to you for eight hours
and then turns into a pizza.”
She must have been a black widow spider in a previous life.

Re: crackpots

In 1933 Germans trusted Hitler more than Thomas Mann. Marx is right. History repeats itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce.

Re: crackpots

I understand Armenians because I grew up in an Armenian ghetto; I had an Armenian education; and I have spent most of my life working for them. I could write a dictionary of Armenian fallacies, clichés, misconceptions, and prejudices, all of which have been mine at one time or another.

Re: crackpots

"Our party has been criticized again and again from the day of its inception but it has successfully survived all its critics." A stupid boast! So what? Longevity is a questionable criterion. Murder, rape, and war have a millennial history: does that make them worthy of our respect? The Ottoman Empire lasted six hundred years: does that make it a better system than French or American democracy? A criticism should be judged on its merits and nothing else.#

"You stress the negative," I am told again and again.
Even from a critic they want flattery. Even from a dissident they want agreement.

If I hold a mirror up to you and you don't like what you see there, why blame the mirror?

Re: crackpots

To contradict someone who lives in harmony
with his own misconceptions, prejudices and fallacies
is like interrupting a honeymoon.
