going back to folks who trod our same paths through perilous times...when actually the issues weren't much different...(except that many of us think our Tech Age has evolved us way past early 20th Century)...yet...the problems remain and it's good to read or watch history...because they say: History doesn't repeat...yet it rhymes."
