[Hermit 2] The only things that we learn from history are that America is no
exception to the general rule that we don't,
[Blunderov] Like the "Treaty of Versailles" and what that brought? Isn't it
even an idiom now?
[Hermit 3] /me nods. Exactly. I would feel much better if it were clichéd,
as opposed to proverbial, as that might suggest that people were beginning
to take the message to heart. It is a message that bears repeating, as it
explains in large part why a study of history is not just invaluable, but
even a necessary prerequisite to forming effective opinions about the
present.

Hermit
