Question: Is history bunk? (Henry Ford Quote)?

“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history that we make today.” (Chicago Tribune, 1916).

I want an in depth view of Why history is important to society.

Answer: First off You are mistankly taking the quote and running with it rather than examining it’s context. The quote was not about history itself but about the current times (1916) and how Ford felt WW1 was being fought in part because of greviances from far past and not because of its present time. An example (all be it a bad one) would be if some group that had one point been treated horribly wrong lets say Jews, blacks, or Native Americans started a war now because of what had hapened to them in a different time. Some people would feel what had happened to them had been a long time ago and therefore the history did not matter.
To the second part of your question of why history is important it is because history is what makes the present. think of it this way, take a moment in your life, and imagine it as if it had never happened, lets say a move when you were young, that changed your life, a marriage that led to children without those kids your life is different right? So now take that context and apply it to the world if that war had not been fought who would be in charge?, If that philosopher (lets say Confuscious) we might not have Buddhisim, etc. Do you see what i am saying? Another thing about history is it is the only science that encompasses all other fields of study, in math we deal with srtictly numbers yet in historical math we learn how people came to use their particualr counting system and why, when it changed, etc. In Literature we study the use of words to tell stories and define what those words mean, in history we relate how those words could and would be said because of the time frame it was written… History is populary taught as a social science and not one of the three R’s (reading, writing, arithmetic) yet without history we have none of those. History is not learning facts about who did what when and how and why but it is the study of when how and why we are now.

Henry Ford: Important Historical Information

Question: Who, besides me, is THRILLED about this???

JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) — A jury on Thursday convicted reputed Klansman James Ford Seale of kidnapping and conspiracy in the 1964 deaths of two black teenagers in southwest Mississippi, grisly drownings that went unpunished before federal prosecutors re-examined the forgotten case.

Seale, 71, faces life in prison in the deaths of Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee. The 19-year-olds disappeared from Franklin County on May 2, 1964, and their bodies were found later in the Mississippi River.

have a nice weekend wallowing in stupidity. you are really good at it.

Answer: Oh, I love Durham NC by the way, I transferred here recently, it is so nice to see so many affluent people of ALL races. Black Doctors, Hispanic Lawyers, White executives. If it was tried in Durham NC, then they would probally get the death sentence. Remember that Durham NC is the home of the NC branch of the Black Panthers.

Anyway, I digress. It just shows that whatever is done in darkness always comes to the light. Justice was served!
