Who is Cary Grant?
Now, I’m no historian. (By 2045, I might be – if I can still remember my name.) But at least I can discuss sensibly a wide range of topics from days of yore – “yore” meaning anytime before I was born. I can spend endless evenings with friends around a fireplace, reminiscing about topics like Will Rogers’ humor, the causes of the 1929 crash, how my grandparents survived the 1918 flu epidemic, the dreadful events of 1913, why Disney’s Main Street USA is made to look like 1912, why the 1910 Edinburgh Conference failed – and so on, back through the Higher Criticism, the Civil War and slavery, the impact of railroads, how the frontier made America, the Pilgrim fathers’ troubles, Wesley’s success and Luther’s downfall, Gutenberg’s revolution, the Black Plague’s impact on Catholicism, Constantinople’s fall and the Italian Renaissance, how the Irish saved civilization in the 900s, the bright side of the Dark Ages, why Rome fell, and etc. back to Noah. (I’m a little weak on the Garden of Eden.)
