"history buffs, of which I'm one" with
The Industrial Revolution (not sure on this, was it the era of Titanic?)
—truly I am. From the evidence you provide, you are a "history buff" only in the sense that I am an astronaut.


I should have clarified. What I meant by being a "History Buff" is that I was into military history. That is what I'm more versed about. I could care less in high school about the roaring twenties, or the 30's or anything non-military back then. And that's the honest truth. I'm sure I learned it, I remember having to read the "Great Gatsby" but I don't remember much.

No, just raised where I focused down a specific tunnel of history, not the whole picture. Just wasn't interested, for some reason. That's another reason I know so little about politics, other than the parts that stood out during wartimes.
