blog points The commonly used expression, "Those who ignore history are bound (or doomed) to repeat it" is actually a mis-quotation of the original text written by George Santayana, who, in his Reason in Common Sense, The Life of Reason, Vol.1, wrote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Rooted in the philosophies of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and many others to follow, his biography (1863-1952) and more contemporary interpretations and observations about man and life can be found at Wikipedia by searching for George Santayana. Stanford University online also provides an outstanding and much more detailed background on this important and profound philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist. Santayana's quotation, in turn, was a slight modification of an Edmund Burke (1729-1797) statement, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." Burke was a British Statesman and Philosopher who is generally viewed as the philosophical founder of modern political conservatism. Fastforward: Exxon-Valdez oil spill. 2004/2005 Tx City BP plant explosion...15 killed 2010 Gulf Oil Spill..BP oil rig explodes & burns...day 85...11 killed well does anyone else see that BP kills people and not one of their executives has gone to jail. But the environmental regulations do allow for the executives of corporations to be arrested and put in jail. Your government at work. WTF are they thinking??? Hmmm... A~ |
